如何在R中使用XLConnect读取.xlsx文件

Question

I want to read an .xls or .xlsx file from my hard drive using R. I installed the XLConnect package and have received the following errors:

Data <- readWorksheet(loadWorkbook("C:/test1.xlsx"),sheet=1)
Error: FileNotFoundException (Java): File 'test1.xlsx' could not be found - you may specify to automatically create the file if not existing.

I want to read the first tab of my Excel file. I also tried the gdata read.xls function and failed.

Try to define your working directory before calling the xlsx file. So use the function setwd before calling the file. Example:

setwd("the location where the file is placed on your pc")
Data <- readWorksheet(loadWorkbook("C:/test1.xlsx"),sheet=1)

Note: make sure u are using forward slashes instead of backwards slashes in the setwd function.
