  barplot = FALSE,
  names = c()
)

Arguments

start	The beginning of the considered time interval (as character) limited to the year and month, e.g. "2020-03".
end	The end of the considered time interval (as character) limited to the year and month, e.g. "2020-04".
shares	A logical parameter indicating whether the function is to calculate shares of product sales
barplot	A logical parameter indicating whether the function is to return barplot for product sales.

Value

The function returns values of sales of products from one or more datasets or the corresponding barplot for these sales (if barplot is TRUE). Alternatively, it calculates the sale shares (if shares is TRUE).

Examples

## Creating 3 subgroups of milk:
ctg<-unique(milk$description)
categories<-c(ctg[1],ctg[2],ctg[3])
milk1<-dplyr::filter(milk, milk$description==categories[1])
milk2<-dplyr::filter(milk, milk$description==categories[2])
milk3<-dplyr::filter(milk, milk$description==categories[3])
## Sample use of this function:
sales_groups(datasets=list(milk1,milk2,milk3),start="2019-04",end="2019-04",shares=TRUE)
sales_groups(datasets=list(milk1,milk2,milk3),start="2019-04",end="2019-07", 
barplot=TRUE, names=categories)
