How to extract sheet names from Excel file in R

问题

I have loaded a workbook into R and read in the worksheets using xlConnect, but I was wondering if there was a way of extracting the names of the sheets perhaps in a vector?

So far my code is:

dataIn<-loadWorkbook(file.path(filenames[1],sep=""))
lst = readWorksheet(dataIn, sheet = getSheets(dataIn), startRow=1, startCol=1, header=TRUE)

...and I want to extract the sheet names of the sheets in lst.

回答1:

You are looking for getSheets

Returns all worksheet names in a workbook.

回答2:

Another really nice package developed by the folks at RStudio is readxl. It's easy to get the excel sheet names with the excel_sheets() function.

library(readxl)
path <- "path/to/your/file.xlsx"
excel_sheets(path = path)

回答3:

dataIn <-loadWorkbook(file.path(filenames[1], sep=""))

sheet <- getsheets(dataIn)

To get the 1st sheet use sheet[1]
