excelR - Loading and Basic Example
Excel Formulas
excelR
helps you create spreadsheet tables that support Basic Excel Forumulas.In the table below, 1st Column 6th Row (A6) if you enter =SUM(A1:A5)
you'd get the total sum of all the 5 cells above.
Dropdown Column
In this example, We'd see how to create the table with a column that offers Dropdowns. This is primarily done with the paramater source
while building the data.frame
of columns
.
More Features
While the above two examples are used to explain the type of offerings that excelR
provides, excelR
is much more than those two:
- Insert and delete rows and columns.
- Drag and drop columns
- Resizable rows and columns
- Merge rows and columns
- Search
- Pagination
- Lazy loading
- Native color picker
- Data picker dropdown with autocomplete, multiple, and icons feature
- Date picker
Summary
excelR
is one of those R packages which may not seem to be holding Data Science use-cases right off the box, but can become quite handy as we start exploring new ideas and implement them due the nature of the package's flexibility and customizations it offers. Nevertheless, excelR
will be very valuable while designing UI interfaces with shiny
or in fact,for a more interactive RMarkdown
document / report. Check out excelR's own exhaustive documentation here.
