The "writeFindFn2xls" function in the sos package include 3 different ways to write an Excel workbook, depending on which packages, etc., you have installed. I wrote that, because I could not find one contributed package that as easy to install on every operating system. This writes an Excel workbook with 3 sheets. That may not be what you want, but it might provide other options.

Hi Bryan,
What functions like "htmlize" (prettyR) do is format the basic R
output into HTML tables with the option of interspersed graphics.
While I usually stop at the HTML stage, the output files can be
imported into Word for those who cannot work out how to open them with
an HTML browser. I just tried the example for "htmlize" and it imports
into Libre Office Writer fine, but doesn't fit so well into Libre
Office Calc, which does not bode well for an import into Excel. At
best you will get formatted output, but you cannot play with the
numbers as you would in a spreadsheet. Petr's suggestion, which I just
read, is an alternative that may be more useful to you.

Hi Jim,

Your assumption is correct. When running the analyses in R and want to export 
the output that appears in the console window to Excel(.csv) file.
I believe it is easier to do if the export it done to an Excel (.CSV) file.

So is there a way to export the analyses in the console window to a .CSV file 
with the good formatting ?
I am looking to export the whole output if possible.

I found this code, but it doesn’t cover the whole output of the console.

write.csv(coef(summary(test)), file=“test.csv”)

My whole output consists of descriptives and regressions.

Best,

Hi Bryan,
When I have to do something like this, I usually go through HTML
output and import it into MS Word. I am not suggesting that this is
the best thing to do, but it might get you out of trouble. I'm not
sure whether importing HTML into Excel will work as well. I assume
that you are running analyses in R and want to export the output that
appears in the console window. If so, try producing HTML output with
the prettyR or R2HTML packages and importing it. There are other ways
to do this, but the learning curve is steep and you might not want to
climb it right now.

Hi,

How do I export results from R to Excel in a format-friendly way? For example, 
when I copy and paste my results into excel, the formatting is messed up.

Thanks.
