[R] IMPORTING FILE FROM EXCEL

[Jacques VESLOT]

if you don't need to import several dataset, you can directly change current directory from the file 
menu and move to your working directory instead of substuting all backslashes for slashes in import 
function argument.
you can also copy your dataset in excel and do :
 > data1 <- read.delim("clipboard")
