read_xl question
Something like
files <- list.files(pattern="*.xls", full.names = TRUE)
data <- lapply(files, read_excel, sheet="Flow Data", range=("b9:c10"))
should do it.

Colleagues,
I have a workbook which has 3 worksheets
I need to extract data from two specific cells from one ofthose worksheets.
I can use read_excel to do this for one file.
data<-read_excel("C:/Desktop/Excel_raw_data/0020-49785 8768.xls",
sheet="Flow Data",range=("b9:c10"))
How can I do this for all my Excel files in the directory?
I can get the list of Excel files using: files =list.files(pattern="*.xls")
But I?m not sure where to go from here.
Some guidance would be appreciated.
All the best
