XLConnect is a comprehensive and cross-platform R package for manipulating Microsoft Excel files from within R. XLConnect differs from other related R packages in that it is completely cross-platform and as such runs under Windows, Unix/Linux and Mac (32- and 64-bit). Moreover, it does not require any installation of Microsoft Excel or any other special drivers to be able to read & write Excel files. The only requirement is a recent version of a Java Runtime Environment (JRE).

The package can easily be installed fromCRAN viainstall.packages("XLConnect"). In order to get started have a look at theXLConnect andXLConnect for the Impatient package vignettes, the numerous demos available viademo(package = "XLConnect") or browse through the comprehensivereference manual.
