Dear all, I am quite new to R and for preofessional reasons I was interested in the R/excel interface by Baier and Neuwirth. After setup I see the Rexcel and the Rhelp on the Menu bar of Microsoft Excel XP. However, after putting the formula =RApply("pchisqr", 30, 1) Excel returns the message "could not start Rserver". Any suggestions how to fix this. How do run this

Hi, I have some questions about Excel-to-R interface and I hope somebody can help me. Is it possible to call functions in a self-defined package from Excel using the Excel-to-R interface? We created the package successfully and can run all the functions inside R. But when we tried to run them from Excel, we kept running into problems. It seems we can not run anything that is not in the base

I am trying to learn the basics of Sweave so I read some things and a friend gave me his Rnw file to play with. I am able to do R CMD Sweave mark-example.Rnw. That works.

I have a highly formated Excel with multiple tabs. Is it currently possible to read this data into R without changing the format of the Excel file? Also, is it possible to write back to the same Excel file or at least create a new Excel file with the same formatting as before with modified data which has been processed in R. Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide. Dave

I have Excel files containing data that I would like to move to R. They are in the standard form of a one row header followed by rows of data, one record per row EXCEPT that there are a few rows of comments before the header. The number of rows of comments varies. For Excel files of this form without comments I have had success with: require(RODBC) z <-

Hi! I am trying to display a graphic using the dcom server and the dcom graphics object. Works fine without the embedded graphics object, in it's own windows, but if i use the embedded object (what I need to do) the colors are gone. Graphics are always only black and white. Even in the DCOM examples for VB the graphics are without color - is this a bug? Can I do anything about it?

Using Thomas Baier's DCOM server I can do the following (in Windows 2000): I create a slider in Excel, and the sliders On_Change event triggers a call to R. This call redraws an R graph, and so I have animated R graphics controlled by Excel's slider. The problem is that Excel needs focus so i can grab the slider, and therefore it partially covers R's graph window. Is there a way to

Hans-Peter and other R developers, How are you? Have you made any progess with embedding Url's in Excel? Well, I have been busy thinking of more things for you to do;) My colleagues in the lab are not R literate, and some are barely computer literate, so I give them everything in Excel workbooks. I have gradually evolved a system such that these workbooks have become compendia of my
