I'm relatively new to R (and programming). I have an Excel workbook with 36 sheets, but suppose that I don't know how many sheets there are and I want my code to find that out for me. I have tried something like:
options(java.parameters = "-Xmx6g")
library(XLConnect)
myWorkbook <- loadWorkbook(filename)
numberofsheets <- length(getSheets(myWorkbook))
But even though I set my memory to 6GB I still run into memory errors with XLConnect, so I would like to use other packages (e.g. xlsx, openxlsx). Is there a way to find out the number of sheets in an Excel workbook without using XLConnect? Thanks for your help.

Using the Move or Copy command will help you export or copy one or several worksheets to a new workbook quickly. Step 1: Select the worksheet names in tab bar. You can select multiple with holding down Ctrl key or shift key. Step 2: Right click the worksheet name, and click the Move or Copy from context menu.
Maybe try:
library( readxl )
length( excel_sheets( filename ) )
