XLConnect: Excel Connector for R

XLConnect is a comprehensive and cross-platform R package for manipulating Microsoft Excel files from within R. XLConnect differs from other related R packages in that it is completely cross-platform and as such runs under Windows, Unix/Linux and Mac (32- and 64-bit). Moreover, it does not require any installation of Microsoft Excel or any other special drivers to be able to read and write Excel files. The only requirement is a recent version of a Java Runtime Environment (JRE).

The package can easily be installed from CRAN via install.packages("XLConnect") (or install.packages("XLConnect", type="source") on Mac OS X).

Alternatively, the package can be installed directly from github using the devtools package:

require(devtools)
# Installs the master branch of XLConnect (current development version)
install_github("xlconnect", username = "miraisolutions", ref = "master")
