In R, what is the procedure for swapping out one excel sheet in an excel workbook for another excel sheet?

edit

To swap out one excel sheet in an excel workbook for another excel sheet in R, you can use the following steps:

1. Load the "xlsx" library using the command: library(xlsx)

2. Read the existing Excel workbook using the command: wb <- loadWorkbook("existing_workbook.xlsx")

3. Create a new Excel sheet using the command: new_sheet <- createSheet(wb, sheetName = "new_sheet")

4. Read the data from the sheet you want to swap out using the command: old_sheet_data <- read.xlsx("existing_workbook.xlsx", sheetIndex = sheet_index), where sheet_index is the index number of the sheet you want to swap out (starting from 1).

5. Write the data to the new sheet using the command: write.xlsx(old_sheet_data, wb, sheet = new_sheet)

6. Remove the old sheet using the command: removeSheet(wb, sheet_index)

7. Save the changes to the workbook using the command: saveWorkbook(wb, "existing_workbook.xlsx")

Note: You can also use the sheetName parameter instead of sheetIndex if you know the name of the sheet you want to swap out.
