Hi Antony,

Except if you have good reasons to use R2.15, it is generally a good idea to upgrade to the latest version. In any case, the solutions that were proposed on the list will definitely work fine.

There are however advantages of using readxl, in my opinion. readxl does not use dependencies; it correctly converts to dates; and if you have empty cells in numeric columns, xlsx will convert to NaN and not NA as would be expected (correct me if this behavior has been modified in the latest version). The problem with readxl is that it only reads! A similar write function would be nice!

Hi Ivan,

This way i would've tried but i am using R 2.15 - ReadXL package will
support R >=3 versions.

Thanks,
Antony.
