To access an Excel file in R, you can use the readxl package. Here is an example code that shows how to import an Excel file into R:

main.r
# Step 1 - Install the readxl package
install.packages("readxl")

# Step 2 - Load the readxl package 
library(readxl)

# Step 3 - Set the working directory to the folder where the Excel file is saved
setwd("path/to/working/directory")

# Step 4 - Read the Excel file using read_excel() function
my_data <- read_excel("filename.xlsx") # Replace filename.xlsx with the name of your Excel file

# Step 5 - Manipulate and analyze the data
# Some examples:
head(my_data) # Returns the first 6 rows of the data.frame
summary(my_data) # Returns a summary of the data, including mean, median, quartiles, and range
606 chars
17 lines

You can change the input and output arguments of read_excel() function according to your needs. For example, you can specify the sheet you want to read with the sheet argument, or you can skip rows or columns with the skip argument.
