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

Hi I am using package RODBC version 1.0-1 under R version 1.7.1 on Windows XP Pro. I am having problems writing a new table to an (Excel) database using sqlSave. I connect to an empty Excel spreadsheet using odbcConnectExcel (which, I believe, uses the Microsoft Excel Driver DSN). Then I try and save a new table to the database(spreadsheet) using SqlSave, but obtain an error message. Below is

Hi, I'm attempting to use the RODBC package on Windows Vista to import an excel spreadsheet. The spreadsheet has three worksheets the last of which is blank. Following an example in Phil Spector's book (p. 34), after creating a connection named con I did the following: > con RODBC Connection 3 Details: case=nochange DBQ=c:\temp\test.xls DefaultDir=c:\temp

Hello, All: The "writeFindFn2xls" function in the "sos" package tries to write an Excel file with 3 sheets ('PackageSum2', 'findFn', 'call'). Unfortunately, it is often unable to do this because of configuration problems that are not easy to fix. I've found 3 contributed packages that provide facilities to write Excel files with

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 <-

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

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 =

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

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

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,

Dear R experts, I am trying to import some data from some Excle files into R. My Excle file contains about 50 sheets. One solution I can think about is to convert my Excle file into csv file first and then load data into R using 'read.csv'. But it seems to me that 'read.csv' only supports reading one sheet (or 'one file') each time, so that seems I have to create 50 csv

I have some questions about the RODBC package. library(RODBC) # required for those who want to repeat these lines 1st, I noticed that the following sequence does not work: channel <- odbcConnextExcel("test.xls") tables <- sqlTables(channel) name1 <- tables[1, "TABLE_NAME"] # this should be the name plan1 <- sqlFetch(channel, name1) # bang!

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.

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 =

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"

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 have large dataset of many countries. I have written the program to run through each country to generate one output for each country. I want to put the output like this: one sheet has output for one country. How do I achieve it by r. I have tried this: library(xlsx) write.xlsx(nnn, "vn.xlsx", sheetName="Sheet1") [1] but when I change sheetName="Sheet2"

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
