Answer 1

Usually you can achieve this while importing the data already. For example, if you are using the openxl package, you can make it read the first row as the column names like this:

library(openxl)

open_xlsx(path='your_filename.xlsx', col_names=TRUE)

If you do not want the first to be the column name, use col_names=FALSE .
