You may want to understand how your data is coming out of Excel. You
are getting just a single character string. Here is code to convert
the string to numerics and plot:
x <- " 7.0121, -0.673354, 0.749622, -0.549641, 0.435662, -0.328995,
0.0869976, -0.0851428, -0.191019, 0.188799, -0.373707, 0.434814,
-0.51979, 0.61944, -0.554766, 0.662571, -0.557779, 0.543724,
-0.452397, 0.293651, -0.248438, 0.0532787, -0.0185775, -0.176117,
0.222021, -0.34723, 0.407796, -0.416123, 0.497159, -0.435225,
0.473375, -0.370811, 0.33683, -0.273933, 0.149871, -0.142623,
-0.0253748, 0.0205145, -0.134123, 0.167995, -0.209844, 0.266891,
-0.242527, 0.326598, -0.235483, 0.275738, -0.195738, 0.168225,
-0.114333, 0.0593316, -0.0583527, -0.016594, 0.0363428, -0.0533603,
0.106158, -0.129363, 0.131993, -0.134909, 0.135686, -0.125387,
0.0866545, -0.0668686, 0.043161, -0.0229738 ; "
# remove commas and semicolons for reading
x <- gsub(",|;", '', x)
# read in the data
xin <- scan(text = x, what = 0)
plot(xin)

What is the problem that you are trying to solve?
Tell me what you want to do, not how you want to do it.
