Hi samarvir, Your attachment didn't make it through the list filter. From your example, you seem to want something like this:
# assume you are using the readxl package to read the data in mydf<-read_excel("mydata.xlsx",col_types=rep("character",11)) mydatavector<-as.vector(as.matrix(mydf)) This is probably not what you need, as each spreadsheet file will be turned into a long vector of character (string) values. What you probably should think of is reading in the spreadsheets: mydf1<-read_excel("mydata1.xlsx") mydf2... and merging the resulting data frames. With that many data files, you will probably have to do this in stages.
