Reading data from Google Sheets

[Kaveh Bazargan]

Thank you so much to both. And Andre, if you could write a blog post for
every question I have it would help me a lot. ;-)

Actually I think I had looked at the very helpful StackExchange page before
for reading Google Sheets directly in R. I will try it and report back with
any follow ups.

Regards
Kaveh
