View( ) function in R: How to view part of huge data frame as spreadsheet in R

I have a huge data frame df in R. Now,if I invoke View(df) then Rstudio does not respond since it's too big. So, I am wondering, if there is any way to view, say first 500 lines, of a data frame as spreadsheet.

(I know it's possible to view using head but I want to see it as spreadsheet since it has too many columns and using head to see too many columns is not really user friendly)

You can look at the dataframe as a matrix such as df[rowfrom:rowto, columnfrom:columnto], for example in your case:

df[1:500,]

If you want to see first 100 lines of the data frame df as spreadsheet, use

View(head(df,100))
