help to ... import the data from Excel

Jim,

You might also want to consider the XLConnect package.  I have had
better luck reading/writing Excel files than with xlsReadWrite.

XLConnect looks good but - as the xlsReadWrite author and planing to
release a xlsx/64 bit successor - I'd be interested to learn what you
mean with "better luck reading/writing". Thanks a lot and

Cheers,
Hans-Peter
