How to export data frame in R to excel?

To export data frame in R to excel can be done with the help of write.xlsx function of xlsx package. We would need to pass the data frame name, the file name and the sheet name in which we want to save the data frame. For example, if we have a data frame called df with file name Excel_df and on sheet1 then the data frame will be saved by using the below command −

write.xlsx(df, file="Excel_df.xlsx", sheetName = "Sheet1")

Consider the below data frame −

Example

 Live Demo

x<-rnorm(20)
y<-rnorm(20)
z<-rnorm(20)
df<-data.frame(x,y,z)
df

Output
