Hi Arman,

You already asked about this in May:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioc-devel/2020-May/016788.html

Have you followed up with the xlsx maintainers as suggested by Llu?s?

Cheers,
H.

Hi Herve,

The last response in the previous topic suggested that the maintainer has already fixed the problem on GitHub but not CRAN.

https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/bioc-devel/2020-May/016791.html

This is from May and the problem still persists. I?ll try contacting the maintainer of xlsx.

Best regards,
Arman

Hi to all,

I have sent several emails to the maintainer of ?xlsx? package but unfortunately, he is unresponsive.
Am I allowed to use an alternative package for exporting data only for mac users?

Best regards,
Arman

Hi Arman,

Sure, if xlsx is broken and won't be fixed, use something else. Maybe 
try openxlsx? Similar to xlsx but doesn't require Java:

   https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=openxlsx

But why would you use something else on Mac only? It's easier from a 
maintenance point of view if you use the same code on all platforms, 
whenever possible.

Best,
H.

Dear Herve,

Thank you very much for recommending the openxlsx package. It looks like that
it also supports multiple sheets per file. I?ll try replacing xlsx with openxlsx package
for all platforms.

Best regards,
Arman
