[R] reading in from xlsx files

[Jim Lemon]

Hi Bob,
Most likely you didn't save the resulting Excel file before sourcing the R
code. I would close Excel (which given the time elapsed since your message
you probably have done) and open the XSLX file again. If the changes are
there in Excel, they should show up when you run the R code (using the xlsx
package, we assume?)

Although Sarah's answer may be more sensible.

Jim
