in my case the problem came from the excel file. Although it seemed perfectly organized, it did not worked and I had always the message: Error in read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote, : duplicate 'row.names' are not allowed.

I tried to copy-paste my excel matrix to a new empty excel sheet and I retried to read it: it worked ! No error message anymore !
