R openxlsx Excel导出：XML错误

Question

I have the following problem

I export data from R to Excel with the new library openxlsx . The code looks like this

mystyle = createStyle(fontName="Arial",fontSize=8,halign="right",wrapText=TRUE)
excel_export = function(wb,sheet,data,mystyle){
addWorksheet(wb,sheet,gridLines=FALSE)
#setRowHeights(wb,sheet,rows=1:nrow(data),heights=rep(0.13,nrow(data)))
addStyle(wb,sheet,mystyle,rows=1:nrow(data),cols=1:ncol(data),gridExpand=TRUE)
pageSetup(wb,sheet,orientation="landscape",scale=80,left=0.25,right=0.25,top=0.25,bottom=0.25)
writeDataTable(wb,sheet,data,xy=c(2,2),colNames=TRUE,rowNames=TRUE,tableStyle="TableStyleMedium9",withFilter=FALSE)
} 
excel_export(wb,"Statics",dg,mystyle,0.8,20)

When I do so, I get in Excel the following error message:

<removedPart>removed part: /xl/tables/table3.xml-Part with XML-Error. (Sheet) A attribute must not contain '<' enthalten. Row 1,
Column 133.</removedPart>

(I translated this error message from German into English).

I am using Excel 2010, 64 bit version and R 3.1.1. Language is set to German.

Answer 1

I used to receive this error regularlly. I checked all my data/results in both R and Excel and noticed no missing data. I investigated a bit more on StackOverflow, Google, and IRC and the conclusion that I came to was that this message can be ignored.

Please inspect your source and destination data. You should be able to confirm that there is no missing data and if so then you can ignore the XML error.
