I would like to open OpenOffice (LibreOffice) .ods files in R. I've
tried the ROpenOffice package from omegahat, but unfortunately, the
read.ods() function attempts to use the values of the first column
in a worksheet as row names, and thus does not allow duplicates in
there (which, even more unfortunately, occur in my files). Also, the
function does not allow to forward any other parameters to the
called functions, like e.g. row.names=FALSE.
Another option read.ods() does not offer is choice of the
worksheet(s) to open, but that's a minor issue for me.
Now, I could alter the files to fit the function. I could alter the
function itself. But before I do any of that, I wanted to ask if
someone has a better idea, another approach to ods-files altogether,
maybe?
I'm not getting the same results as you. Duplicates in the first
column do not seem to be causing problems. If you look at the cod for
read.ods, you can step through it and modify its behavior to you
liking. Perhaps you should post a reproducible example and also the
error messages you are getting.
