In ugatsdb: Uganda Time Series Database API

Description Usage Arguments Value See Also Examples

View source: R/accessdb.R

This function automatically reshapes long (stacked) raw data from the API (get_data(..., wide = FALSE)) to a wide format where each variable has its own column.

long2wide(
  data,
  id_cols = intersect(.Tvars, names(data)),
  names_from = "Series",
  values_from = "Value",
  labels_from = if (any(names(data) == "Label")) "Label" else NULL,
  expand.date = FALSE,
  ...
)

`data`	raw data from the API: A long format data frame where all values are stacked in a value column.
`id_cols`	character. Temporal identifiers of the data. By default all variables in `.Tvars` are selected.
`names_from`	character. The column containing the series codes. These will become the names of the new columns in the wider data format.
`values_from`	character. The column containing the data values.
`labels_from`	character. The column containing the labels describing the series.
`expand.date`	logical. `TRUE` will call `expand_date` on the data after reshaping.
`...`	further arguments passed to `dcast` or `expand_date`, no conflicts between these two.
