Transform Data into Row-Column-Value Format

Description

Transform raw Eurostat data table into the row-column-value format (RCV).

Usage

tidy_eurostat(
  dat,
  time_format = "date",
  select_time = NULL,
  stringsAsFactors = FALSE,
  keepFlags = FALSE
)

Arguments

dat	a data_frame from get_eurostat_raw().
time_format	a string giving a type of the conversion of the time column from the eurostat format. A "date" (default) converts to a Date() with a first date of the period. A "date_last" converts to a Date() with a last date of the period. A "num" converts to a numeric and "raw" does not do conversion. See eurotime2date() and eurotime2num().
select_time	a character symbol for a time frequency or NULL (default).
stringsAsFactors	if TRUE (the default) variables are converted to factors in original Eurostat order. If FALSE they are returned as strings.
keepFlags	a logical whether the flags (e.g. "confidential", "provisional") should be kept in a separate column or if they can be removed. Default is FALSE

Value

tibble in the molten format with the last column 'values'.
