In R, How to read Excel file and access the data item? Thank you. --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I gather from reading the back-issues of r-help that it should be possible (modulo a number of caveats) to read an excel (yuck!) file into R using RODBC. I have obtained and installed ODBC and the RODBC package, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to go about it. Can anyone give me a simple recipe? I have an excel file on cdrom, say: /mnt/cdrom/melvin.xls I have started R and loaded

There is a recurring need for importing large csv files quickly. David Baird's dataload is a standalone program that will directly create .rda files from .csv (it also handles many other conversions). Unfortunately dataload is no longer publicly available because of some kind of relationship with Stat/Transfer. The idea is a good one, though. I wonder if anyone would volunteer to

The first column in my Excel sheet has mostly numbers but I need to treat it as character data: > library(RODBC) > channel <- odbcConnectExcel("U:/efg/lab/R/Plasmid/construct list.xls") > plasmid <- sqlFetch(channel,"Sheet1", as.is=TRUE) > odbcClose(channel) > names(plasmid) [1] "Plasmid Number" "Plasmid"

Hello, I have some problems with RODBC and Excel in Win98 I am using R 1.6.2 and just upgraded RODBC to the last version on CRAN. I have an Excel file with columns Number, Name, Sex, Age, FEV1 on Sheet 1 and Number, Age, FEV1, Name, Sex on Sheet 2. Now I open the channel to the file > chan1 <- odbcConnectExcel("c:/testOdbc.xls") > tables(chan1) and the list appears with the 2

Hello everybody, here is the code I use to read an excel file containing two rows, one of date, the other of prices: library(RODBC) z <- odbcConnectExcel("SPX_HistoricalData.xls") datas <- sqlFetch(z,"Sheet1") close(z) It works pretty well but the only thing is that the datas stop at row 7530 and I don?t know why datas is a data frame that contains 7531 rows with the

Hola, Pensé que esto iba a ser trivial en R, pero me estoy encontrado muchos con mi problema en internet, y que las soluciones ofrecidas no terminan de funcionar. Estoy intentando leer un fichero .xls en ubuntu con los siguientes paquetes y nada: require(RODBC) conn = odbcConnectExcel("madrid.xls") # open a connection to the Excel file sqlTables(conn)$TABLE_NAME # show all sheets df =

This is about R 2.7.0 and related packages on windows NT. I have a mixture of numeric and character data and empty cells in an Excel spreadsheet with several tabs that I'm trying to read with sqlFetch from RODBC. The data that is returned by sqlFetch is unfortunately not identical to the source data in that in columns with character values in the first few rows the subsequent rows of that

Hello CentOS people, I'm wondering if there are command tools like antiword and docx2txt for Microsoft PowerPoint files (.ppt and .pptx). The idea is to extract text from PowerPoint files. Sorry this isn't exactly about CentOS, but I'd really like it if Yum has something. I tried xlhtml, but it hasn't been updated in a while and isn't exactly wanting to work on CentOS

Hi, i'm trying to read some data from excel files but it seems that neither xlsReadWrite nor sqlFetch (RODBC) doesn't like the format (Excel 5.0). When i open the file in Excel and save it in a new format Excel 97 -2003 everything works fine. Is it possible to use ODBC connection to open old format files, or i guess i will have to open and save every file in Excel in new format, which

Hola, @javier, me gustaría no tener que hacer nada de forma manual, ni por fuera de r, rstudio. Es decir, el típico comando de linux que me convierta de xls a csv prefiero no usarlo. Me gustaría hacerlo todo desde R. @jorge -> Con RODBC me salta -> Error: could not find function "odbcConnectExcel" Lo que creo que es inevitable en Ubuntu

Gracias Jorge por contestar tan rápido. Con gdata hago eso del path, y directamente con el fichero, lo vi en una web, y he intentado todas las opcioens que he visto. En vez de install.packages('rJava', type = 'source') he hecho install.packages('rJava') Ahora probaré, y lo mismo con scan y readLines. He visto en stackoverflow que mi problema puede ser actualizar java,

The Excel 'database' I am pulling from mixes multiple character indicators for different kinds of non-numeric results in the same column as the numeric values. A simple sqlFetch turns all of the character indicators into NAs. I would like to pull in all of the Excel data as character so that I can split the column into multiple types of vectors and control the type conversion within R. Can

Hello sir: How can I read data file of EXCEL format from disk("d:\\data.XLS" for example)? I can only read data file of .txt format read.delim("d:\\data.txt",header=T,as.is=T),but only EXCEL format is available at present. Thanks a lot

Hello all, I have a business user who generates monthly reports in MS Excel in a particular format. The data I need is present in different portions of this excel file. Is there a way to read different cells from a particular excel worksheet? i.e., cells b50:d100 in the Inputs worksheet. I am investigating odbcConnectExcel but did not yet see such capability. Appreciate your help. Jeevan
