Extract data out of R

[EternalExcellence]

I am using a package that returns data in this format(list)

What are the proven ways of extracting them into excel

I have tried a couple of things that did not work, unlist, write.table, converting to dataframe. all failed.

Any other ways

It is really almost impossible to see what is happening in a screenshot . Can you give us the data in a dput format?

A handy way to supply some sample data is the dput() function. In the case of a large dataset something like dput(head(mydata, 100)) should supply the data we need. Just do dput(mydata) where mydata is your data. Copy the output and paste it here.

At a guess you need to store that output in a variable and then export to .csv or xlsx format. Just exporting to .csv and reading that file into Excel is probably the easiest method.

## Generate some data
xx  <- rnorm(100)

## write xx to disc, 
 write.csv(xx, "xx.csv", row.names = FALSE)

One way would be to convert it to a data frame and then use the writexl package. The example below assumes your data is assigned to x.

mydata = data.frame(col1 = x)

writexl::write_xlsx(mydata, path = “your_file_path_name/mydata.xlsx”)

Those response gives me Error in as.data.frame.default(x[[i]], optional = TRUE, stringsAsFactors = stringsAsFactors) :
cannot coerce class ‘"spei"’ to a data.frame! And I have tried those options.

What package are you using to generate the data? Can you provide some sample code to assist in troubleshooting?

xlsx_xlsx is in the {xlsx} package which, IIRC, is a brute for a beginner to install.
You code is throwing an error. It looks like

write_xlsx(mydata, path = “your_file_path_name/mydata.xlsx”)

has some kind of invisible character in it.

I rewrote it as

library(xlsx)
 xx  <- rnorm(100)
mydata = data.frame(xx)
write.xlsx(mydata, "mydata.xlsx")

and it seems fine.

A handy package for importing and export a wide variety of file formats is {rio}

install.packages("rio")
library(rio)
export(mydata, "rio.xlsx")
export(xx, "rioxx.xlsx")

Good catch! I meant to list the writexl package (corrected above).
