Create new Excel application using RDCOMClient












0















I have the following code which uses the existing and open Excel application.
How to I force R to open a new Excel application and open the workbook in this new Excel station?



xlApp <- COMCreate("Excel.Application")
xlWbk <- xlApp$Workbooks()$Open("S:/x/z/y.xlsb")
xlApp[['Visible']] <- TRUE

  • You don't need Excel to read or write Excel files. xlsx is a zip package containing XML files. You can use packages like openxlsx or xlsx to open them

  • The spreadsheet are saved in binary formats (xlsb) and runs a open_workbook macro which is executed and then the workbook is closed. My problem is simply that I would need it to run in a seperate Excel application if possible.
