Hi All, Here is the short description of my problem. >mydata ###my data.frame age height weight 12 97 30 14 95 32 17 120 50I used a following method from RODBC package. ver 1.3.1, to save as excel file. sqlSave(channel,* mydata*, tablename="Sheet1", *colnames = TRUE*) I got two header rows in Excel file:- age height weight age height weight 12 97 30 14 95 32 17 120 50 I need one row if parameter *colnames = TRUE* and no header rows if * colnames=FALSE*. And actually it should work like this.
As the help page says, colnames=TRUE adds the column names as the first row of data. They also appear as column names. So you see them twice.
Complain to Microsoft (or Dan Bricklin) if you don't like the fact that you can't distinguish between column names and data in a spreadsheet.
