Hi Daniel, Am attaching an example xlsx file which I need to modify.
I have tried with below code : library(xlsx) Data = data.frame(1:20) wb <- loadWorkbook("asd.xlsx") ### Assume I saved asd.xlsx in the working directory addDataFrame(Data, sheet = getSheets(wb)[['Sheet1']], startRow=5, startColumn=2, row.names=F, col.names=F) saveWorkbook(wb, "asd.xlsx") Basically I am trying to modify the 2nd column with the data of 'Data' however I do not want to disturb the formatting there in any extend. However above code removing the cell color, which I do not want. What could be right code for doing so? Thanks and regards, PS: not very sure if R forum would accept my attachment, if not that file is available in https://ufile.io/50944 On Tue, Sep 27, 2016 at 12:06 PM, Daniel Nordlund <djnordl...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 9/26/2016 2:56 PM, Christofer Bogaso wrote: >> >> Hi again, >> >> I have been following above suggestion to export data from R to xlsx >> file using XLconnect.
