[R] Automatic datasets creation from multiple data sheets in a single excel file

[Erich Neuwirth]

If you have RExcel (and the necessary infrastructure, i.e.
statconnDCOM and possibly rcom) installed, the following VBA
macro will do the trick.

-=-=-=-=-=
Option Explicit

Sub TransferAllSheetsAsDataframes(wb As Workbook)
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    RInterface.StartRServer
    For Each ws In wb.Sheets
        RInterface.PutDataframe ws.Name, ws.Cells(1, 1).CurrentRegion
    Next ws
    RInterface.StopRServer
End Sub

Sub TransferSheetsInThisWorkbook()
    TransferAllSheetsAsDataframes ThisWorkbook
End Sub


-=-=-=-=-

You have to establish a reference to RExcelVBALib in your workbook.

The names of the sheets will be used as the names of the dataframes.
