Learn R Programming

⚠️There's a newer version (4.2.7.1) of this package.Take me there.

openxlsx

This R package simplifies the creation of .xlsx files by providing a high level interface to writing, styling and editing worksheets. Through the use of Rcpp, read/write times are comparable to the xlsx and XLConnect packages with the added benefit of removing the dependency on Java.
