The main features are:

  • data transfer (matrices and data frames) between R and Excel in both directions;
  • running R code from Excel ranges;
  • writing macros calling R to perform calculations;
  • calling R functions from cell formulas, using Excel's auto-update mechanism to trigger recalculation by R;
  • using Excel as a GUI for R.

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 the rcom package to access R from within Excel.[2]

The RExcelInstaller package was removed from CRAN due to FOSS license restrictions.
