Du kan importere Excel-regneark til XDF-filer ved hjelp av rxImport via ODBC Excel-grensesnittet. Gitt at Excel ODBC-driveren er installert og konfigurert på Windows, et eksempel på kode for å importere et regneark er "Sheet1" fra "C:/Data/ODBCTest.xlsx"-arbeidsbok:
#Define ODBC connection string.connectionStr <- "Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls, *.xlsx, *.xlsm, *.xlsb)};DriverId=790;Dbq=C:/Data/ODBCTest.xlsx;DefaultDir=c:/Data;"
#Define ODBC query into workbook. The worksheet name must be followed by '$' and enclosed in [].
testExcel = "SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]"
#Define ODBC data source for the import using the query and connection string.
excelDS<- RxOdbcData(sqlQuery = testExcel, connectionString=connectionStr)
#Define input workbook and output xdf file.
excelDS_XDF<- RxXdfData("testFromExcel.xdf")
#Import the workbook into the XDF
rxImport(excelDS, excelDS_XDF, overwrite=TRUE)
