similar to: Reading from Google Docs

Both of these applications fulfill a great need of mine: to read data directly from google spreadsheets that are private to myself and one or two collaborators. Thanks to the authors. I had been using RGoogleDocs for the about 6 months (maybe more) but have had to stop using it in the past month since for some reason that I do not understand it no longer reads google spreadsheets. I loved it. Its

I have a bunch of tables in a Microsoft Access database. An updated database is sent to me every week containing a new table. I know that is inefficient and weird but welcome to my life. I want to read the tables whose names are something such as "040207" but not the ones that have alphanumeric names such as "everyone". Using RODBC I am easily able to create a character vector

When one has raw data it is easy to create a table of one variable against another and then calculate proportions For example a.nice.table<-table(a,b) prop.table(a.nice.table,1) However, I looked at several papers and created a data frame of the aggregate data. That means I acually created a table except it is a data frame. The first column lists the name of the first author and the year. I

converting a POSIX class variable to a date class is easy. dates<-as.Date(x) #where X is of class POSIX How does one do that to all columns in a data frame that are of POSIX class and leave all the other columns (integers, factors) as is. Feel free to reply with just one or two buzzwords that I could then search for to find how to do it. Farrel Buchinsky

I have upgraded everything lately and can no longer get the Tinn-R explorer to work. I think I have had this problem before but cannot recall how I solved it.I run Tinn-R 2.0.0.7 and Rgui version 2.7.2 When I click on the explorer button I get > trObjList(envir='.GlobalEnv', pattern='', group='', path=.trPaths[3]) Error in trObjList(envir = ".GlobalEnv",

Hello, Some code using RGoogleDocs, which had been working smoothly since the summer, just stopped working. I know that it worked on November 3rd, but it doesn't work today. I've confirmed that the login and password still work when I log in manually. I've confirmed that the URL gives the same error when I paste it into Firefox. I don't know enough about this web service to figure

I encountered the above problem. I went to the help files and discovered the reason why. My insight as to why it was happening did not immediately provide me with a solution by which I could accomplish what I needed to do. I turned to the help archive. I encountered a thread on which somebody pointed this problem out and was mildly castigated for not having looked at the help file. Alas no

I read a table from Microsoft Access using RODBC. Some of the variables had a name with a space in it. R has no problem with it but I do. I cannot find out how to specify the space names(alltime) [1] "ID" "LVL7" "Ref Pv No" "Ref Pv Name" "DOS" "Pt Last Name" "Pt First Name" "MRN"

I use R for data management and ongoing data analysis for amongst other things, a multi-center medical research project. I have found Google spreadsheets to be a fantastic way for all collaborators to be on the same page. Furthermore, Google Forms allows one to capture data from respondents and effortlessly write it to a google spreadsheet. Currently, one has to manually download the spreadsheet

Is there an easy way to read the value of the cells rather than the formula?So for instance in a cell whose value was created by simply using the value from the cell immediately to the left in the Google spreadsheet I would prefer to get the value rather than =RC[-1] When one exports with Google Spreadsheets as a csv then that does not happen. I am using the following line of code in R

I would like to track in which journals articles about a particular disease are being published. Creating a pubmed search is trivial. The search provides data but obviously not as an R dataframe. I can get the search to export the data as an xml feed and the xml package seems to be able to read it. xmlTreeParse("

I would really appreciate it if anyone could determine what is going on with the following command. It is only half-working and is losing lots of data. For the life of me I cannot even see the pattern of what it is losing and what it is not. I am attaching the R data set which you can use with the Load Workspace menu function.

How does one convert to a date format when survey respondents have used two different date formats whilst entering their data. There were clearly told to use mm/dd/yyyy but humans being humans some entered mm/dd/yy. There was even validity checks on the forms but I allowed them to be overridden since the data is more holy than the format. The data was downloaded as a csv and read.csv was used to

Why will the following command not work sapply(objects(),dim) What does it say about the objects list? What does it say about the dim command? Likewise, the following also does not work all<-ls() for (f in all) print(dim(f)) -- Farrel Buchinsky [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I suspect the problem stems from the fact that there are a couple of NA values. > sunflowerplot(lastoto,maxear) Error in rep.int(i.multi, number[number > 1]) : invalid number of copies in rep.int() So I used the subset command to get rid of the cases with NA hell<-subset(ChinOtoMayB,is.na(lastoto)==FALSE) Then it worked perfectly sunflowerplot(hell$lastoto,hell$maxear) Is

I installed the newest version of R and once again ran into problem with Tinn-R failing when trying to use the R explorer. I had this problem once before and solved it when I added the following .trPaths = c( 'C:/Documents and Settings/fbuchins/Application Data/Tinn-R/tmp/', 'C:/Documents and Settings/fbuchins/Application Data/Tinn-R/tmp/search.txt', 'C:/Documents and

A while back Gabor Grothendieck suggested that I try http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.general. This was after I asked how to easily reply to posts on the listserve. Ideally I would like the functionality that I find in Microsoft Outlook Express newsreader for usenet groups or what I find in Google Groups. I started using gmane about 3 weeks ago. I find it fantastic for searching and for

Hi, I'm new to R and would like to know, how one can populate the list with array data. I'm reading a tab separated table in R. The data in the table looks something like this. #Table Data Comp    A    B    C Extracellular    103    268    535759 Nucleus    45603    47783    442744 #R code myData <- read.table("table.data",                 header=T,                

How does one create a vector whose contents is the list of variables in a dataframe pertaining to a particular pattern? This is so simple but I cannot find a straightforward answer. I want to be able to pass the contents of that list to a "for" loop. So let us assume that one has a dataframe whose name is Data. And let us assume one had the height of a group of people measured at

Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to use the RGoogleDocs package from OmegaHat, and am having a bit of trouble. I emailed Duncan Temple Lang directly, but didn't receive a response, so I thought I'd try here to see if anyone else can help. I'm using 32-bit R 2.10.1 (Mac OS X), I built RGoogleDocs 0.4-0 from source, and I'm using XML 3.1-0 and RCurl 1.2-0. If I use
