Welcome to the BERT console! The console includes an R command shell and a basic editor for editing your function or script files.

A couple of key things to know:

  • BERT loads functions from files in Documents\BERT\functions (we call this the startup folder). When you install, there's one file in there: functions.R. To add new functions to Excel, either edit that file or add a new file to the startup folder.

  • Any time you add or change a file in the startup folder, BERT will reload it automatically. You can watch other files and directories as well; see the docs on watching files.

  • The R shell is "live" and connected to Excel -- see the docs on Talking to Excel from R, and the Excel Scripting (COM) Interface.

This editor, and the R command shell, are built using CodeMirror and Electron. This is a complicated stack but the end result should be very easy to use, configurable and extensible.

You don't have to use our editor -- use any editor you like. You can hide this editor in the View menu, and just use the command shell.

Have suggestions, feedback, questions, comments? Let us know!

Cheers,

-- The BERT team
