There are better ways of importing data from Excel. Have a look at the
wiki:
http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=tips:data-io:ms_windows

The first possible solution path should work...

There are several ways to get data from Excl to R.  One of the simplist ways is to save the data as a csv (comma seperated file) and read the data into R from that file using read.csv()

Example

read.csv(file="D:/Book1.csv", header=TRUE)
