Or just read the R Data Import/Export manual that includes comments on how to deal with Excel.

Hi

In Excel, make sure that your data has a format that corresponds to an R

data frame (first row with column names, consistent column size and data
type).
Export your .XLS worksheet as .CSV file (mydata.csv).
In R, read it into a data frame with

read.csv( "mydata.csv" )

Another option is simple copy/paste way.

In Excel select the data area you want to transfer (preferably formatted
like stated above.
Press Ctrl-C
Change to R
In R command window write

my.data.frame<- read.delim("clipboard",...further options according to
your locale...)
