Ideally, you shouldn't really start from there (because transfer of data
between different applications is not for beginners -- it is better to
have your data in a text file with a well-defined format), but let's try:
a) Open the spreadsheet. Make sure that the 1st element of each column
has the name of the variable. Let us assume that the 2 relevant ones are
called "x" and "y". Highlight the relevant region and copy to clipboard.
b) In R type
mydata <- read.delim2("clipboard")
names(y)
plot(y~x, data=mydata)
summary(lm(y~x, data=mydata))
This assumes that you are using a German locale (comma is decimal
separator), otherwise use read.delim("clipboard").
