[R] need help with excel data

[Matthew]

Try asap utilities (Home and Student edition), 
http://www.asap-utilities.com/index.php. When installed it will look 
like this in Excel,
Select Columns & Rows and then #18.


If that is not helpful, then DigDB, http://www.digdb.com/, but this one 
requires a subscription. It will also split columns.
You may have to do some 'cleaning' of individual cells, such as removing 
leading and/or trainling spaces. A lot of this can be one with the ASAP 
Utilities 'Text' pull down menu.
