I know you can read and write excel using readxls and other R packages but is it possible to open a workbook, copy an existing sheet and paste it as a new worksheet in a workbook but in a set position ?
also can you rename a worksheet and modify cells using paste values ?
cheers
Yes to all questions I believe.
Have a look at the packages readxl & writexl. See Reading and Writing Excel Files With R Using readxl and writexl
or for more heavy lifting you may want to have a look at the xlsx package. There are several other packages that should do what you want.
openxlsx is also a good package for this. You can load an existing work book, manipulate things (including renaming a sheet), and then save it.
XLConnect is similar but has a Java dependency which can be a pain.
