In aghaynes/redcaptools: Tools for exporting and working with REDCap data

REDCap Date-Time Conversion

Description

This function prepares date-time values in a data table for import in REDCap. It parses date and time values and processes them using redcap_import_dates and redcap_import_times. This ensures that date-time entries, which may have been entered in various formats in Excel, are converted into a format compatible with REDCap.

Usage

  var,
  args_rc_dates = list(),
  args_rc_times = list(),
  date_only = FALSE
)

Arguments

var	Variable to convert
args_rc_dates	List with arguments for redcap_import_dates (e.g. args_rc_dates = list(unk_day = 01,format = "american"))
args_rc_times	List with arguments for redcap_import_times (e.g. args_rc_times = list(unk_min = 01,unk_sec = 01))
date_only	If TRUE, only the date will be included in the output and the time value will be removed. Default = FALSE.

Value
