+**excelDataGuide** is an R-package that simplifies reading data from spreadsheet data reporting templates (DRT's) into R.
 
-A data reporting template is an Excel file for standardized reporting and processing of experimental data. Such templates reduce the time spent on data analysis and encourage or force users to provide data in a structured manner so that errors and misinterpretations are minimized. The **excelDataGuide** package avoids the problem of having to write and maintain code to read data from complicated spreadsheet DRT's. Furthermore, it provides an infrastructure to check the validity of data, to read data in the correct data types and to wrangle data when appropriate or desired. It thereby facilitates enables the *Interoperability*, the **I** of the [FAIR](https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/) principles for DRT's.

 The package provides a simple interface to read data from Excel files and convert them into R objects. We assume that data is organized in three types of data structures: key-value pairs, tabular data and microplateplate-formatted data. The locations of these data structures in the Excel template are provided by a **data guide**, which is a YAML file, a human- as well as machine-readable structured file format.

 ## Example
 
-The basic usage of the package only requires one command with two file paths: the path to the Excel data file and the path to the data guide file. Here is an example:
