So i downloaded readxl.zip from [https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/readxl/index.html] under r-release which is mentioned in Windows binaries and I extracted it to C:\Users\users\anaconda3\Lib\R\library

Then i tried to import the library using the code

library(readxl)

and i got an error given below

Warning message:
"package 'readxl' was built under R version 4.3.0"
Error: package or namespace load failed for 'readxl' in loadNamespace(j <- i[[1L]], c(lib.loc, .libPaths()), versionCheck = vI[[j]]):
there is no package called 'cellranger'
Traceback:

   . }, error = function(e) {

   . paste(" in", deparse(cc)[1L])
   . else ""
   . msg <- gettextf("package or namespace load failed for %s%s:\n %s",
   . sQuote(package), P, conditionMessage(e))
   . if (logical.return && !quietly)
   . message(paste("Error:", msg), domain = NA)
   . else stop(msg, call. = FALSE, domain = NA)
   . })
3. tryCatchList(expr, classes, parentenv, handlers)
4. tryCatchOne(expr, names, parentenv, handlers[[1L]])
5. value[3L]
6. stop(msg, call. = FALSE, domain = NA)

cellranger is one of readxl's hard dependencies. The normal ways of installing a package will also install its hard dependencies, so this suggests you never went through install.packages() or similar. In any case, try installing cellranger.
