Base R cannot write .xls files by it's self. You should output CSV using write.csv(): write.csv( dataFrame, file = 'results.csv' ) If you are using R on windows, then the RODBC package provides a mechanism for dumping data frames directly to Excel files, possibly with multiple sheets: require( RODBC ) xlsFile <- odbcConnectExcel( 'results.xls', readOnly = F ) sqlSave( xlsFile, dataFrame, tablename = 'R Results', rownames = F ) odbcCloseAll() The tablename argument to sqlSave allows you to assign a name to the excel sheet that will contain the data.frame. -Charlie ----- Charlie Sharpsteen Undergraduate Environmental Resources Engineering Humboldt State University -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Writing-a-data-frame-in-an-excel-file-tp26378240p26378547.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
