Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) See Also Examples

For some analysis, it is more convenient to have a xts object instead of a data.table object.

rdb_to_xts(
  x,
  needed_columns = c("period", "series_code", "series_name", "value"),
  series_columns = c("series_code", "series_name")
)

`x`	`data.table`. The `data.table` returned by the `rdb` function.
`needed_columns`	Vector of character strings (default `c("period", "series_code", "series_name", "value")`). Vector of column names which are needed to transform the `data.table` into a `xts` object.
`series_columns`	Vector of character strings (default `c("series_code", "series_name")`). Vector of series column names.

A xts object.
