[R] To import data to R from Excel

[Rainer Schuermann]

In Excel, make sure that your data has a format that corresponds to an R data frame (first row with column names, consistent column size and data type).
Export your .XLS worksheet as .CSV file (mydata.csv).
In R, read it into a data frame with

> read.csv( "mydata.csv" ) 

>From here, you shold be able to reshapte the data in a way that you can draw your boxplot.

Rgds,
Rainer
