I have spent hours on R in Windows 7. Just installed 2 days ago so the R package should be current.
Currently I am using the RGui (64-bit) for Windows. I can not read an Excel file into R from my computer. Have hours on this. Completely crazy!! I have the XLConnect package loaded. I think it is loaded because when I enter: > loadedNamespaces() [1] "base" "datasets" "graphics" "grDevices" [5] "methods" "rJava" "stats" "tools" [9] "utils" "XLConnect" "XLConnectJars" XLConnect is listed. Does that mean it is loaded? > getwd() [1] "F:/RwkCB3/R OG SBCD 1205v01" > list.files() [1] "~$ R OG SBCD 1205 MH1.docx" "~WRL2121.tmp" [3] "01 R OG SBCD 1205 MH1 BU1.docx" "01 R OG SBCD 1205 MH1.docx" [5] "01 R OG SBCD 1205v01 BU2" "Dta1.txt" [7] "Gas Dly YTD1204 v01 BU.xlsm" "Gas Dly YTD1204 v01.xlsm" [9] "Oil Dly YTD1204 v01 BU.xlsm" "Oil Dly YTD1204 v01.xlsm" [11] "Oil Dly YTD1204 v01.xlsx" "R OG SBCD 1205v01 sCt.lnk" [13] "R setwd to C Prog R sCt OtDt.lnk" So apparently "Oil Dly YTD1204 v01.xlsx" exists in my working directory. SO WHY DOES THE FOLLOWING BEHAVE THE WAY IT DOES? > OlPrcFl <- loadWorkbook(Oil Dly YTD1204 v01.xlsx, create = FALSE) Error: unexpected input in "OlPrcFl <- loadWorkbook(" I can read an xlsx file in when I do: > OlPrcFl <- loadWorkbook(file.choose()) That is not a real, long-term solution. Have same problem installing packages -- Can't get R to load a package when I specify a path. Works when I use file.choose() I would really appreciate it if you could tell me what is going on.
