Hi all
I all. I am wondering whether anybody know how to export an output of an lm model from R to excel in order to have excel recognize the table that comes and divide the numbers in the table into columns and rows? 
I really hope it is possible? :)

Hi Livia,
One way is to use the "delim.table" function in the prettyR package.
See the examples, in particular the final one. The resulting TAB
delimited file will usually import directly into Excel.

Hi

AFAIK result of lm model is a list so you cannot expect easy direct output to Excel.

List of 12
 $ coefficients : Named num 61.2
  ..- attr(*, "names")= chr "cas"
 $ residuals    : Named num [1:2] 0 0
  ..- attr(*, "names")= chr [1:2] "1" "2"
 $ effects      : Named num [1:2] -61.2 0
  ..- attr(*, "names")= chr [1:2] "cas" ""
 $ rank         : int 1
 $ fitted.values: Named num [1:2] 0 61.2
  ..- attr(*, "names")= chr [1:2] "1" "2"
 $ assign       : int 1
 $ qr           :List of 5
  ..$ qr   : num [1:2, 1] -1 1
  .. ..- attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 2
  .. .. ..$ : chr [1:2] "1" "2"
  .. .. ..$ : chr "cas"
  .. ..- attr(*, "assign")= int 1
  ..$ qraux: num 1
  ..$ pivot: int 1
  ......


You can output data frame or other matrix like object e.g. by

write.table(tab, "clipboard", sep = "\t", row.names = F)

and in Excel you can use ctrl V.

So first you need to transform list or its part to be suitable for Excel.

Cheers
Petr

Hi Livia

There are several html packages that ?could also do it 

Heres a way with xtable

library(xtable)
y = rnorm(100)
x= rnorm(100)+rnorm(100)
mod <- lm(y ~x)

# latex example easy view
xtable(mod)

# html
file.create("lm.htm")
ff <- file("lm.htm", "a+")
fchars <-  print(xtable(mod),type = "html")
writeLines(paste(fchars, sep = ""), ff)
close(ff)

You can then bring this into Microsoft as an html file

You may need to fill in some of the arguments in xtable to get the right
border format etc

If you are doing many you can make a function to do things

If you know some basic html language you can jazz up the table headings to
your liking by writing that before the xtable statement.
It save having to muck around in Microsoft to fix it.
If you are going to do a lot of it - a little study of html basics can go
far.

I was changing the headings to what I wanted using html (although not all
the tables were lm summaries) before the major upgrade a year or so ago
Now things are better.

Even a title and comments in html for yourself if not available in xtable
are helpful. I have not used xtable and html since the upgrade as I use
latex

And for those of us who know close to nothing about HTML I found just now that under a basic print.xtable commmand we get those horrible HMTL borders that in Apache OpenOffice seemed impossible to remove safely.  No idea about Word--I have not used it in years.

I did find that adding  html.table.attributes = "border = 0" gets rid of the borders.  So 
So something like 

print.xtable(modtable, type = "html", html.table.attributes = "border = 0", file = "modtable .html") 
seems to give a reasonable  result in AOO.  At least I managed to do some half-decent formatting with it.

Meanwhile, back to LaTeX where the output looks beautiful. I like booktabs :)

If you are trying to save the html version of the table, Duncan's example can be simplified to
Open this file in Excel or Word. Alternatively open it in your browser and paste it into Word or Excel.

If you are using Windows and Excel, you can streamline this a bit more by using the Windows clipboard:
Open an Excel spreadsheet and then paste the table into it. For some reason, this will not work with Word. You have to paste into Excel, copy the table in Excel, and then paste into Word.

At the expense of extra bandwidth. I also like latex + booktabs; hate word

I format the table header and footer in latex with extra vertical space
between lines and type; output looks more like latex than being cramped from
xtable. 
Thanks anyway to xtable creators -- would be lost without it
