In messy: Create Messy Data from Clean Data Frames

Splits date(time) column(s) into multiple columns

Description

These functions can split the "date" and "time" components of POSIXt columns and the "hour", "month", and "day" components of Date columns into multiple columns.

Usage

split_datetimes(data, cols = NULL, class = c("character", "date"))

split_dates(data, cols = NULL)

Arguments

data	input dataframe
cols	set of columns to apply transformation to. If NULL will apply to all POSIXt columns (for split_datetimes()) or Date columns (for split_dates()).
class	For split_datetimes(). The desired output of the separate "date" and "time" columns. "character" leaves the columns as character vectors. "date" will reformat the date as a "Date" and the time as a "POSIXct" object, with a dummy date appended to it. In split_dates(), all returned columns are integers.

Value

a dataframe
