[R] Specify Path of an Excel file in R

[Charles Annis, P.E.]

One way that works for lazy people like me is to use file.choose().

1) Type in "file.choose()" without the quotes and hit <enter>
2) Navigate to the folder and file that you want and click on it.
3) R will show you the complete path to your file.

An even easier way is to do something like this:

my.stuff <- read.csv(file.choose(), ...

and then navigate to your file.
