Hello, All:
What do you recommend for reading a Google Spreadsheet into R? I didn't
find anything useful using library(sos); findFn('google spreadsheet').
I can solve the problem by downloading the file either as *.ods or
*.xlsx format, then opening it and saving it as *.xls, then using
read.xls{gdata}.
Alternatives I haven't tried use read.xlsx{xlsx} and
readWorksheetFromFile{XLConnect} with 32-bit R. Neither of these work
for me with 64-bit R, because they can't find an appropriate rJava on my
computer; see below. (I've been using 64-bit R with Emacs, so switching
to 32-bit R is not completely trivial.) Similarly,
read.gnumeric.sheet{gnumeric} requires the "external program,
ssconvert", which seems not to be available on my computer or installed
for 64-bit R.
What do you suggest? Avoid 64-bit R unless I really need it? That seems
to be the message I'm getting from this. (The writeFindFn2xls{sos} also
works in 32-bit R but fails in 64-bit apparently for the same reason.)
Thanks,
Spencer
