Dear R users, I've learned today about RODBC package in order to import xls file to dataframes and export the dataframes to xls files. However I have some problems. Please excuse me if these are basic but as I said, I've just begun with this package. Also this email is quite long, but everything is related, so I don't think it would be better to split it. Moreover, there's a

Hi All, I'm using R 2.11.1 on 64 bit windows XP. The little function I wrote below I use often to import the first 1001 lines in an excel sheet to R. This works fine on the 32 bit version of R but fails on the 64 bit [both on the same machine, using the same function, importing the same .xls file]. The message from 64 bit R is: Error in sqlTables(channel1) : first argument is not an

Hi, I've written some code that fetches data from an Access Database (2003), processes the data, then saves the modified data back into a table in the Access database. It works if I only pass through the code once, but if I put a loop around the code so that I fetch data from a different source table, and then save it again to a different destination table, the code crashes. It is

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

I have been trying to read some data from an Excel workbook without success. The workbook is in .xls format and has multiple sheets, one with the sheet name Data, which is the sheet I wish to read from. One complication is that the header row of this sheet is comprised of dropdown boxes. I tried what I normally would do plus some variations. Here is the output. > require(RODBC) >

Hello... After installing the precompiled version of R 2.1.0 (congratulations to the R Development Core Team) for Windows XP (Service Pack 2), I'm having problems with the "odbcCloseAll" and "odbcClose" functions within the "RODBC" package. I get pretty much the same error message for both functions: odbcCloseAll() produces: Error in

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 probably an old question. I have R.3.0.1 installed in 64 bit windows 7. The odbcConnectExcel in RODBC library does not work. Tried odbcConnectExcel2007 still does not work. Any ideas.

Hello, I'am currently experiencing some problems with the odbcCloseAll() and odbcClose() function. I'm trying to connect an R script to a MySQL 5.0 database using RODBC1.1-7 and the MySQL ODBC Driver v.3.51 on a Windows XP Machine. At first everything seems fine. The script connects, reads and writes data but when it comes to odbcCloseAll() it crashes and hangs forever. Unfortunately I

I am using the following: library(RODBC) chan = odbcConnectExcel("rats-lda") rats.lda = sqlFetch(chan, "data") close(chan) And getting the following error message: > library(RODBC) Error in library(RODBC) : there is no package called ?RODBC? > chan = odbcConnectExcel("rats-lda") Error: could not find function "odbcConnectExcel" > rats.lda =

Dear all, I've used RODBC a lot to read in files created in MS excel and access but found a strange problem today: a variable in my data file contained both numbers and text; sqlFetch would set text within a row of numbers to NA; but if first 5 or 6 rows would be text then all numbers would be read in as NA. con<-odbcConnectExcel("xample.xls") #the file is attached or at

hello all i have a quick question. i have been using the RODBC library (trying to read Excel data into R but i am doing this by using Rexcel. this is probably not the correct forum - sorry for this). my code is shown below: Sub A() 'start the connection to R Call RInterface.StartRServer RInterface.RRun "library(RODBC)" RInterface.RRun "A =

Hi all, Does anybody know the easiest way to import excel data into R? I copied and pasted the excel data into a txt file, and tried read.table, but R reported that Error in read.table("data_support.txt", sep = " ", header = T) : more columns than column names Thanks! Ling

Hello, I have an excel file that I load through RODBC. Some of my columns are blank. They are equity time series and the stocks did not exist at the earlier dates. My problem is that the whole column becomes <NA> even though there are numbers at later dates.

Full_Name: Michael Hecht Version: 1.7.1 OS: WinNT Submission from: (NULL) (193.158.76.205) I've got a problem with the RODBC library while trying to access to an MS-Excel file. The Excel file was originally exportet by a commercial software, so I cannot influence it. The problem is, that the names of the tables include spaces, e.g. "Scan 1","Scan 2" etc. If I use RODBC, I

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"

Dear R users, I have a follow-up question on sqlSave(). Since most of the output from the tests I use are lists, I would like to loop to export each element of the list and append it to the sheet. Here is what I do: > library(RODBC) > test <- structure(list(m = structure(c(0.090909090909091, 0.181818181818182, 0.272727272727273, 0.363636363636364, 0.454545454545455,

Hello R-Help, is there any way of using the RODBC Package on a Mac OS X System? If yes, what do I need to get it running. Concerning these issues, I am pretty unexperienced, so please state any step necessary. The actual problem is accessing data in Excel- files. (unfortunately no alternative way of entering the data). I already installed the Package, but it says the following: > versuch
