Re: [R] open xlsx file using read.xls function of gdata package
Will it work with .xlsm files? Best, KW You might try the readxl package - it's only available on github but it reads both xlsx and xls. All going well, it should be on its way to CRAN next week.

Re: [R] open xlsx file using read.xls function of gdata package
I had poor luck with gdata. I have had better luck with XLConnect. There is no single best package for this, since each seems to leverage efforts made in other languages (so there are non-R configuration requirements to keep working) and Excel is a proprietary moving target. In general YMMV when it comes to Excel data. In most cases I just export the data to CSV and avoid the issue. --- Jeff NewmillerThe . . Go Live... DCN:jdnew...@dcn.davis.ca.usBasics: ##.#. ##.#.
