Hi Peter, the readWorksheet function of the XLConnect package seems to do what you are looking for. It has arguments startRow, startCol, endRow & endCol. Alternatively, you could define a named region in Excel that encompasses the data that you are interested in. Then you can use the readNamedRegion method to read only the defined range.
