maybe its a general problem of importing excel files.
First of all I am using only sheeets with headlines ;_) but Students do 
sometimes not. ;-)

So
gdata - read.xls is importing sheets default with header=TRUE (its 
possible to set it false)  if not the fist row is interpreted as 
X+VAlue) means f.e X12.5 thats nearly OK anybody can see that there is a 
value.
readWorksheet the same with header but the name of the Column is Col1 
newbies will not realize that there is a value missing

and R-C commander  has no header Option and the first value will changed 
to F1.

Maybe it would be good to give out a warning in all import functions if 
header is not set explicit to TRUE f.e
Warning: First datarow is used as headlines additionally:  output of 
names(dataset)
