[R] importing data in excel

What I do, is that I save it as a file separated by tab,
and read it in R using (I save it with the xls extension, because this way
the file is automaticly open by excell always, althought it is a text file):

read.table("file name.xls", head=T, sep="\t")


it might help if you replace all the empty cells of your table (in excell)
by NA

cheers,
Marta
