To turn the function avaliable you have to load the library first, to
do so:
library(xlsReadWrite)
Then you use your command read.xls.
I'm suposing that you already had installed the xlsReadWrite package.
A better alternative to this package is RODBC, which also read excel
2007 files. Take a look on it at the CRAN web site.
Hope it helps.
Best wishes.

I'm an R newbie and had a question about the read.xls function. I've
heard that this is often not a reliable function to use for
importing data. However, I have created numerous xls files which
contain information about voter turnout and macroeconomic indicators
in India. I'm writing a paper on the relationship between economic
growth and voter turnout.
This is the command I use:
data <- read.xls("India.xls", header=TRUE)
I get the following error message:
Error: could not find function "read.xls"
Anyone have ideas?
Thanks,
Abraham
