Hi Every one,
my question is, How to Import more than one sheet in a single excel file
(e.g. 10 sheets in one excel file) into R and create datasets for all the
sheets in a single excel file without specifying the sheetnames.

Thank you in Advance.
Hello,
One way is to use the read.xls() function from package gdata. You will need to have Perl installed (one easy choice is http://www.activestate.com/activeperl), and you can only read Excel < 2003 files (not 2007). After running this code, you can merge the resulting list of datafremes with the merge() function. Be sure to have a column in each Sheet in the .xls file that corresponds to subject/observation, with the same name [see ?merge ]. Then you can use the write(), write.table() or write.csv() functions for exporting the resulting data frame to an Excel readable 1 sheet only file.

xls <- file.choose()  #Choose the .xls file to convert
prl <- file.choose() #Choose the perl.exe file location example:"C:/Perl/bin/perl.exe"
sheet <- list()
for(i in 1:10){
sheet[[i]] <- read.xls(f, sheet=i, perl=prl)
}

If you plan to use Excel and R a lot, I sincerely recommend using Rexel, from http://rcom.univie.ac.at/download.html, it is a great package.

Keo.
