Readin .xlsx file into R -

im trying read excel file r. it's following file in cwd:

 > list.files()  [1] "keuren_op_afspraak.xlsx" 

i installed xlconnect , doing following:

library(xlconnect) demoexcelfile <- system.file("keuren_op_afspraak.xlsx", package = "xlconnect") wb <- loadworkbook(demoexcelfile) 

but gives me error:

error: filenotfoundexception (java): file '' not found - may specify automatically create file if not existing. 

but dont understand coming from. thoughts?

i prefer using readxl package. written in c faster. seems handle large files better. command be:

library(readxl) wb <- read_excel("keuren_op_afspraak.xlsx")
