The main features are:
- data transfer (matrices and data frames) between R and Excel in both directions;
- running R code directly from Excel ranges;
- writing macros calling R to perform calculations without exposing R to the user;
- calling R functions directly from cell formulas, using Excel's autoupdate mechanism to trigger recalculation by R;
- using Excel as a GUI for R, making R functionality accessible through menus and dialog boxes instead of a command line-oriented programming style. Using this paradigm, the GUI package R Commander is available as an Excel menu bar.
RExcel works on Microsoft Windows (XP, Vista or 7), with Excel 2003, 2007, 2010, and 2013.[1] It uses the statconnDCOM server and, for certain configurations, additionally the rcom package to access R from within Excel.[2]
