Hi Michael, Hi all,
an alternative for reading/writing tables from/to Excel is the package
XLConnect. It is platform-independent and therefore runs under Windows,
UNIX/Linux & Mac. It supports reading/writing worksheets as well as named
ranges. In addition, for reporting purposes, there is support for cell
styles. You can find an example here:

XLConnect ? A platform-independent interface to Excel . With respect to cell
styles: you either completely code up the styling according to your needs
using /setCellStyle/ (which can be cumbersome if you need to apply a lot of
styling) or you can use so-called "style actions" controlled via
/setStyleAction/. See the XLConnect reference manual for more information.
Best regards,
Martin
