[R] html excel file

[Petr Pikal]

Hi
your question is a bit cryptic. What file you want to read?

xls or some exported file from Excel?

There is many different ways how to read data into R.

See
read.table, RODBC, R data Import Export Manual....

I personally use

in Excel 
select the data with header and
Ctrl-C

in R

myfile <- read.delim("clipboard")
