See the help page for read.csv ?read.csv ...and the R Data Import/Export manual http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-data.html Two things to remember: 1. It will be much more straightforward if you save your excel spreadsheet as a CSV file, rather than the Excel native format. 2. read.csv will import the data as a data frame rather than a vector, and will by default coerce the strings to factors.
