df2 <- data.frame(cc = rnorm(20, 5, 1), dd = runif(20, 1, 5)) | |
## Write the data to a new excel file | |
wb <- openxlsx::createWorkbook() | |
addWorksheet(wb, 'Wksheet name') | |
addWorksheet(wb, 'Another worksheet name') | |
class(df1$aa) <- 'text' # Ususally not necessary, the function does a good job of auto-recognizing | |
writeDataTable(wb = wb, sheet = 'Wksheet name', x = df1) | |
writeDataTable(wb = wb, sheet = 'Another worksheet name', x = df2) | |
saveWorkbook(wb = wb, file = './blahblah.xlsx', overwrite = TRUE) |
