The simplest way, in my opinion is: >save .xls file as .csv in ms excel "save as" option. csv means comma delimited. >now type following command on R console; >mydata<-read.csv(file.choose()) this will open a dialog box will open and select your .csv file. now the data will be saved as "mydata" is actually a data frame.
