similar to: Problem associated with importing xlsx data file (Excel 2007)

I'd like to be able to read multiple sheets from an excel workbook and use the sheet name to name the resulting dataframe using RODBC. at the moment i've figured out how to do it the long way (see below) but feel sure that there is a speedier & possibly automatic way to do it in R. i've tried to run a loop using sqlTables but it seemed to break the connection. unless i've

Hi, I am hoping to use the RODBC package to write a dataframe to an Excel .xlsx file. The dataframe contains at least one field with character elements that exceed 255 bytes, which appears to be the cell width limit in Excel. Below is example code and the warning message received: library(RODBC) d <-

Hi one col in my Excel file contains many numbers. But on line 3000 and some other lines are strings like "FG 1". "RODBS" seems to omit this lines. "gdata" works, but is much slower. Is this a bug of RODBC or do I apply it wrong? Example with the same "file.xlsx" library(RODBC); excel <- odbcConnectExcel2007("file.xlsx") tab <-

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. Thanks Melissa<-sqlFetch(odbcConnectExcel2007("F:\\Cotton2012\\validation.xlsx"),sqtable = "Sheet3", + na.strings = "NA", as.is = TRUE) Error in

Hi List, just to know if the issue is only a problem of mine or if it is a general issue due to the new MS Office pack. I'm using R 2.11.1 32 bits in a Windows 7 x64 with the MS office 2010 x64 installed. I can import .xls files normally (the same way I did with my Excel 2007 32 bits). But the function odbcConnectExcel2007 isn't able to import .xlsx files now that I have the new version of

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 =

Hi there, I've got a database or rather spreadsheet with several columns and rows. For one column named sites I want to loop through all possible values and retrieve all data out of the database where site = x and write it into an object named 'sitex_data'. Somehow I'm really missing something as I'm not able to create these sitex_data objects with the database values,

Hi list, By the entire last 2 weeks I was looking for a way to directly import xlsx files to R in a Linux OS (Ubuntu 9.04). I already read the R Import/Export guide, and I know how to use gdata to import xls files and read.table to import .csv. My problem is that all data that I receive is in the xlsx format, and I have to convert all the files to xls. Well, when I was using Windows Vista OS,

Hola amigos, buenos días Esto sigue avanzando. Estoy ahora tratando de establecer la conectividad de R con Excel y he seguido dos viídeos en YouTube de una profesora llamada Bebilda que se explica muy bien. Con ambos tengo el mismo problema así que planteo uno de ellos, éste es: https://youtu.be/_pSJQO_9I4k?list=PL7DA3FDA21A1A6310 Pero os lo explico brevemente: Cargo el paquete RODBC >

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

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,

Dear all, I have been looking for possibilities to read and write Excel 2007-files in and from R. The 'reading' part is ok through odbcConnectExcel2007 and sqlFetch(RODBC). For 'writing' I thought of using sqlSave in the same package, but it does not work (I think because this function starts from an existing file). Is there a workaround for this, or are there other plausible

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

I am reading dates in Excel2007 into R. Here are the functions I used: library(RODBC) channel<-odbcConnectExcel2007("myfile.xlsx") tmp<-sqlFetch(channel,"1",as.is=T) The dates in myfile.xlsx are all in this format: mm/dd/yyyy. But when I read it to R, some columns look like "yyyy-mm-dd 00:00:00", some columns look like "yyyy-mm-dd", and some

Hi to all. I have a problem to connect to an Excel database using RODBC. Namely, I am using 64-bit R 2.14.0, under Windows 7 and I tried following: library(RODBC) > channel <- odbcConnectExcel("results.xlsx") Error in odbcConnectExcel("results.xlsx") : odbcConnectExcel is only usable with 32-bit Windows # ok this is clear why it doesn't work > channel

I have several hundred Excel 2007 data files in a folder. I would like to read every file in a single given folder using a loop. I have searched the FAQ, the forum archives here, other or older R boards and the R Import / Export documentation, and have asked some very knowledgeable R users without learning of a solution. I hope someone here can help. I understand that the most common

Hi Adrian, dat=data.frame(matrix(0,3,3)) write.xlsx(dat,"z:/dat.xlsx",sheetName="sheet1",append=F) write.xlsx(dat,"z:/dat.xlsx",sheetName="sheet2",append=F) The above code works and creates new worksheets. But if I want to append to an existing worksheet I seem to get an error.

Hi, I am trying to connect to an Excel2010 file while another user is entering data. (Obviously it would be better to set up a SQL database, but this is not an option at this point.). Typically we are not working on the same sheets. However, if possible I like to read the most current excel file into R. RODBC works great as long as the other user has not open the file. I tried: channel <-
