As an alternative approach, you may want to save the sheet names in a 
list and then use the lapply function to read your data into a list. 
This would greatly reduce the 'clutter' of objects in your global 
environment, and then let you apply analysis functions to each sheet 
with subsequent usage of the *apply functions.

Best,
