[R] how to convert a list into a data frame.

[PIKAL Petr]

Well as the original poster asks specifically how to convert imported list to data frame I assumed, maybe wrongly, that he/she knows R objects and by some tricky conversion managed to stuff Excel data to real list (class list) and not data.frame (class data frame).

But you are correct. Code, at least str(object) and detailed description of intention is vital here.
