Hello, All:
The "writeFindFn2xls" function in the "sos" package tries to write an
Excel file with 3 sheets ('PackageSum2', 'findFn', 'call'). Unfortunately,
it is often unable to do this because of configuration problems that are not
easy to fix. I've found 3 contributed packages that provide facilities to
write Excel files with multiple sheets. Unfortunately, I can't get any of
them to work consistently for me. Below please find test cases that
illustrate the problems. Any suggestions for how to solve this problem will
be appreciated.
Thanks,
Spencer
library(dataframes2xls)
df1<- data.frame(c1=1:2, c2=3:4, c3=5:6)
df2<- data.frame(c21=c(10.10101010101,20, 3), c22=c(50E50,60, 3) )
outFile<- 'df12.xls'
write.xls(c(df1,df2), outFile)
# works
do.call(write.xls, list(c(df1, df2), outFile))
# Error in get(s[i]) : object 'structure(list(c1=1:2' not found
Try this:
dd<- list(df1 = df1, df2 = df2)
do.call("WriteXLS", list("dd", outFile))
or this:
do.call("WriteXLS", list(c("df1", "df2"), outFile)
That was for WriteXLS. For dataframes2xls try this:
do.call("write.xls", list(quote(c(df1, df2)), outFile))
Hi, Gabor: Thanks. I think we're gaining on it, but I'm still not
quite there. Consider the following extension of my previous toy example:
library(dataframes2xls)
df1 <- data.frame(c1=1:2, c2=3:4, c3=5:6)
df2 <- data.frame(c21=c(10.10101010101,20, 3), c22=c(50E50,60, 3) )
outFile <- 'df12.xls'
write.xls(c(df1,df2), outFile)
# works
do.call(write.xls, list(quote(c(df1, df2)), outFile))
# works
df2x <- function(x, file)
do.call(write.xls, list(x, file))
df2x(quote(c(df1, df2)), outFile)
# works
df2 <- function(x1, x2, file){
x23 <- quote(c(x1, x2))
do.call(write.xls, list(x23, file))
}
df2(df1, df2, outFile)
# Error in get(s[i]) : object 'x1' not found
This is closer to what I need. The answer may lie in getting the
right "envir" argument for "do.call". However, I haven't yet found
something that works there.
Thanks,
Spencer
