How to Read Excel File in R

The code demonstrates how to read an Excel file in R using the readxl library. The code consists of two parts:

1). Load the readxl library:

library("readxl")

2). Use the read_excel() function to read the Excel file:

• To read an Excel file with the .xls extension:

my_data <- read_excel("my_file.xls")

• To read an Excel file with the .xlsx extension:

my_data <- read_excel("my_file.xlsx")

In both cases, the function will return a data frame that contains the data from the Excel file. The data frame can be stored in an object, such as my_data, for further analysis or processing.
