I agree, if the person is using R on a Windows system. And they have Excel installed on it. If, like me, they are on a non-Windows system, then it _might_ be faster and easier to use a package from CRAN such as openxlsx (my favorite because it is native C code), or XLConnect (Java based, using the Apache foundarion's POI code). These could be used on Windows also. If the OP just wanted to run an R script without first needing to start up Excel, open the spreadsheet, save the data in CSV format, then run the R script. What can I say? I'm lazy! (And _proud_ of it). -- There is nothing more pleasant than traveling and meeting new people!
