Shiny lost colnames & numeric to factor after edit about excelr HOT 3 CLOSED

To avoid character input in numeric fields, probably need to add mask parameter to column data.frame. If it is numeric then it might be mask:'#.#' by default

@marciz Thank you for reporting the issue. I'll look into the issue of why column names are getting lost after edit. and why the numeric value is getting converted to factor instead of character. Should be related to one of the recent changes made in excel_to_R function.

I'll see if jexcel provides an extension to restrict the number/character input into columns. Could you file a new feature request for this so that I can work on it in the upcoming version?

@marciz, the above two PR should resolve the issues you have reported. You can reopen this if the issue you have reported hasn't been addressed in latest development version.
