Hi Jose,

the datafile gets thrown away on the list. But in any case, first step is to
get rid of EXCEL and save the data as a csv-file, with the first row being
the variable names. Then you use read.table or read.csv to get this in R as
a data frame.

e.g.:
myData <- read.csv(file="myFile.csv",header=T)

Next, you specify "some multivariate nonparametric test". Which one you're
talking about?
Next, check the help files of the related function (if you figured out which
one to use, that is.)

But with this very general question without any other information, nobody
will be able to help you.

Cheers
Joris
