Natalie, It's best to provide at least a sample of your data. Your field names suggest that your data might be collected in units of mm^2 or some similar measurement of area. Why do you want to use Mann-Whitney, which will rank your data and then use those ranks rather than your actual data?

R won't read an Excel sheet directly. You need to export it, saving it as a CSV or tab delimited file. You can then import using read.table. The entire path and file have to be in double-quotes as well. Try ?read.table for more info. JWD On Wednesday 11 January 2006 19:48, N. Goodacre
