I found that R did not always play nicely (and quickly) with complex Microsoft Excel files. Previously, I had quite a complex bit of python code to read Excel files and upload them to MySQL.

https://vierboom.wordpress.com/2011/03/03/exclusive-on-new-louis-theroux-project

Francis Vierboom's Blog. A blog about things. Mostly news, ideas, and Sydney. Exclusive on new Louis Theroux project. I recently watched the excellent documentary ‘The Ultra-Zionists’ by Louis Theroux – pictured here in his earlier doco about life in San Quentin prison. Should be a great doco! What would you call it? Louis and the Focus Groups? March 3, 2011 at 6:14 pm. Laquo; Thursday links. 100 billion for high speed rail? Or some law tweaks and cheaper, easier plane flights?
