Just tried XLConnect which seems to work without any problems... When defining this:
wb <- loadWorkbook("c:\\path-to-xls-file") readCell <- function(sheet, row, col) { readWorksheet(wb, sheet, startRow=row, endRow=row, startCol=col, endCol=col, header=FALSE)[[1]] } then, calling the function like this: readCell("Tabelle1", 1, 1) I will get this error message: "Fehler in startRow - 1 : nicht-numerisches Argument für binären Operator" (error in startRow - 1: non-numeric argument for binary operator) What am I doing wrong? Note: I just want to read the value of a specific cell. The best way is to have a function providing an excel like coordinate (e.g. "A1")... 2012/7/16 Rui Barradas <ruipbarra...@sapo.pt> > Sorry, it's > > findFn("xlsx") > > And the first three hits ARE promising (they work).
