Hello

I know how read a file in excel format into a R data frame using the
RODBC library, but I don't know how write a R data frame in excel
format. I don't understand the instructions from RODBC user manual.

To read an excel file I use.

library(RODBC);

conex<-odbcConnectExcel("fis_quim.xls");

sqlTables(conex);

data<-sqlFetch(conex,"hoja1");

Suppose I modify data and I want to save it as an excel file, How do
I do that?

Thanks for your help

I save my data(frames) in csv format, which can be opened by any spreadsheet 
application:

R> write.table( myData, "myFile.csv", col.names = NA, sep = "," )

Or you can write it as

write.table(r.data.frame, "excel.file.xls", sep="\t", na="", 
row.names=F)

which I can usually open in Excel just by clicking on it.
