Hi,
I am trying to import data directly from an excel spreadsheet using the RODBC
package. I am getting the following error messages, wondering if anyone can
help me with it?
> connection = odbcConnectExcel('D:\\R files\\TestData.xls')
> tables = sqlTables(connection)
> tables
TABLE_CAT TABLE_SCHEM TABLE_NAME TABLE_TYPE REMARKS
1 D:\\R files\\TestData <NA> '30092007$' TABLE <NA>
2 D:\\R files\\TestData <NA> '30092008$' TABLE <NA>
3 D:\\R files\\TestData <NA> '31032007$' TABLE <NA>
4 D:\\R files\\TestData <NA> '31032008$' TABLE <NA>
5 D:\\R files\\TestData <NA> '31032009$' TABLE <NA>
> query = paste("SELECT * FROM", tables$TABLE_NAME[1])
> sqlQuery(connection,query)
[1] "HY000 -3003 [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] Syntax error in query.
Incomplete query clause."
[2] "[RODBC] ERROR: Could not SQLExecDirect 'SELECT * FROM '30092007$''"
Thanks,
Regards,
Han Chin
