Well, I'd argue, that often 'the best way' is to use the xlsReadWrite package, but I am biased... There are some precondition: - you have to be on windows (but my new soon-to-arrive notebook will be a Mac, therefore...) - it reads and write in the Excel 97-2003 xls format (BIFF8). (With Excel 2007 you'd have to choose the compatibility mode for now and thus fall back to the 65536 rows and 256 columns limit).
