In antaldaniel/retroharmonize: Ex Post Survey Data Harmonization

Read SPSS ('.sav', '.zsav', '.por') files. Write '.sav' and '.zsav' files.

Description

This is a wrapper around haven::read_spss with some exception handling.

Usage

read_spss(file, user_na = TRUE, id = NULL, doi = NULL, .name_repair = "unique")

Arguments

file	An SPSS file.
user_na	Should user-defined na_values be imported? Defaults to TRUE.
id	An identifier of the tibble, if omitted, defaults to the file name without its extension.
doi	An optional document object identifier.
.name_repair	Defaults to "unique" See tibble::as_tibble for details.

Details

'read_sav()' reads both '.sav' and '.zsav' files; 'write_sav()' creates '.zsav' files when 'compress = TRUE'. 'read_por()' reads '.por' files. 'read_spss()' uses either 'read_por()' or 'read_sav()' based on the file extension.

When the SPSS file has columns which are of class labelled, but have no labels, they are read as numeric or character vectors.

Value

A tibble:

Variable labels are stored in the "label" attribute of each variable. It is not printed on the console, but the RStudio viewer will show it.

'write_sav()' returns the input 'data' invisibly.
