[R] Reading .gsheet within R

[Marc Schwartz]

Hi,

I don't know if the information is still current, but there were some discussions a while back pertaining to reading Google Docs documents in R. There is a blog post here from David Smith that might be helpful:

I would be sure to read the comments as well.

Regards,

Marc Schwartz
