In fact you can set that globally with: ?options

options()$OutDec  # my setting

Oh sorry I thought you mentioned to set excel globally to dot.

no change when setting it to dot. I seems that XLConnect is not able to 
deal with NA in Excel, means its string instead an number after importing.

  If you continue having difficulty using XLConnect, then you should contact the authors of that package.

I tried - no answer yet.

Thank you Knut
