[R] Is it possible to create highly customized report in *.xlsformat by using R/S+?

[Whit Armstrong]

I have a package which I use to create excel files from R.

I have not been able to produce a configure script general enough for me
to post it to cran, but I will send it to you if you like.

I use it for production jobs on our linux servers.  You may have to
tinker a bit to get it to compile on windows.

Have a look at the examples below.  If it suits your needs, I will send
it to you.

Cheers,
Whit


Here are the examples from the help page:

     nc <- 4
     nr <- 20
     x <- matrix(rnorm(nc*nr),ncol=nc,nrow=nr)

     rownames(x) <- rep(letters,length=nr)
     colnames(x) <- rep(letters,length=nc)

     # write a matrix
     write.xls(x,"matrixFromR.xls","matrix")
     write.xls(x,"matrixFromR.no.colnms.xls","matrix",writeColNms=FALSE)
     write.xls(x,"matrix.no.rownms.xls","matrix",writeRowNms=FALSE)
 
write.xls(x,"matrix.no.nms.xls","matrix",writeColNms=FALSE,writeRowNms=F
ALSE)

     # add some formats
 
write.xls(x,"matrixFromR_formatted.xls","matrix",formats=rep("0.0",nc))
 
write.xls(x,"matrixFromR_formatted2.xls","matrix",formats=rep(c("0.0","0
"),nc/2))
 
write.xls(x,"matrixFromR_formatted3.xls","matrix",formats=rep("#,##0.0;[
Red]#-##0.0;\"\"",nc))

     write.xls(x[,1],"vectorFromR.xls","vector")
 
write.xls(x[,1],"vectorFromR.no.colnms.xls","vector",writeColNms=FALSE)
 
write.xls(x[,1],"vectorFromR.no.rownms.xls","vector",writeRowNms=FALSE)
 
write.xls(x[,1],"vectorFromR.no.nms.xls","vector",writeColNms=FALSE,writ
eRowNms=FALSE)

     # char data test
     y <- matrix(rep(letters,each=26),ncol=26)
     rownames(y) <- rep(letters,length=26)
     colnames(y) <- rep(letters,length=26)
     write.xls(y,"char.data.xls","alphabet")

     # logical data test
     z <- matrix(as.logical(round(runif(nc*nr),0)),ncol=nc)
     rownames(z) <- rep(letters,length=nr)
     colnames(z) <- rep(letters,length=nc)

     write.xls(z,"logical.data.xls","myLogic")
     write.xls(z[,1],"logical.data.vector.xls","myLogicVector")

I appreciate your reply and understand your point completely. But at
times we can't change the rule, the only choice is to follow the rule.
Most deliverables in my work are in excel format.
