Querying available Excel tables in a workbook
Queries the available Excel tables on the specified worksheet.
Usage

getTables(object,sheet,simplify)
Arguments
Details
Since this is a vectorized function (multiple sheets can be specified) the result is a
named list (one component per sheet) if no simplification is applied. In cases where only
one sheet is queried and simplify = TRUE
(default) the result is simplified to a
vector.
