I am wanting to read EXCEL files into R. In the past I have saved
EXCEL files as csv files without difficulty. Recently, when I have
saved the files in this format I am then unable to open them again in
EXCEL or though windows (XP). I receive a message stating - SYLK:
file format not valid.
R will read the file, but I cannot open it in windows. Csv files
created and saved in the past (on the same computer) can still be opened.
I am not saving as csv (Macintosh) and saving as a SYLK file results
in the same error.
Any suggestions are appreciated,
Bob
