R is not a simple programming language, and it does better on reading excel files than python .
tried to read excel files to python and R.
in python, pandas can read in excel files
import pandas as pd
df=pd.read_excel("files")
And most of times, there are some errors. And the files could not be read in.
But the same excel files, R works better on reading in the excel files.
library("readxl")
my_data<-read_excel("files")
Most of times, there is no error. And the files can be read in.
R can do most of the programmings as any programming languages.
