In order to import .xls file into R, we must convert the file to csv first. One way to this is to open xls files in a speadsheet application and then export to csv format. Another way is to use a small convert program, handily available on … Google. An example: xls2csv:
xls2csv -x dataset.xls -c dataset.csv
After converting to csv, import data with
> dataset1 <- read.csv(file = "~/dataset.csv")
