In TravisPritchardODEQ/IRLibrary: Tools used in Oregon DEQ's Integrated Report Assessment

Normalize Datetimes

Description

This function takes in datetime data that is collected under different timezones, and normalizes them to the same time zone. This function is needed because R does not allow multiple timezones in a vector.

Usage

normalize_datetime(
  df,
  datecol = "SampleStartDate",
  timecol = "SampleStartTime",
  tzcol = "SampleStartTZ",
  target_tz = "America/Los_Angeles",
  norm_time_colname = "datetime",
  vector_only = FALSE
)

Arguments

df	dataframe to modify.
datecol	Name of the column that contains date values.
timecol	Name of the column that contains time values.
tzcol	Name of column that contains timezone values.
target_tz	Timezone data should be normalized to.
norm_time_colname	Name of column new data should be written to.
vector_only	If true, return only a vector of normalized datetimes. IF false, return dataframe with added datetime
