The pivottabler
package enables pivot tables to be created and rendered/exported with just a few lines of R.
Pivot tables are constructed natively in R, either via a short one line command to build a basic pivot table or via series of R commands that gradually build a more bespoke pivot table to meet your needs.
The pivottabler
package:
Since pivot tables are primarily visualisation tools, the pivottabler package offers several custom styling options as well as conditional/custom formatting capabilities so that the pivot tables can be themed/branded as needed.
Output can be rendered as:
The generated HTML, Latex and text can also be easily retrieved, e.g. to be used outside of R
The pivot tables can also be exported to Excel, including the styling/formatting.
pivottabler
is a companion package to the basictabler
package. pivottabler
is focussed on generating pivot tables and can aggregate data. basictabler
does not aggregate data but offers more control of table structure.
The latest version of the pivottabler package can be obtained directly from the package repository. Please log any questions not answered by the vignettes or any bug reports here.
An example of a pivot table showing the number of trains operated by different train companies is:
library(pivottabler) # arguments: qhpvt(dataFrame, rows, columns, calculations, ...) qhpvt(bhmtrains, "TOC", "TrainCategory", "n()") # TOC = Train Operating Company
This example pivot table is explained in more detail later in this vignette.
Examples of pivot tables containing other types of calculation can be found in the examples gallery later in the vignette.
Pivot tables are a common technique for summarising large tables of data into smaller and more easily understood summary tables to answer specific questions.
Starting from a specific question that requires answering, the variables relevant to the question are identified. The distinct values of the fixed variables^[The terms "fixed variables" and "measured variables" are used here as in Wickham 2014] are rendered as a mixture of row and column headings in the summary table. One or more aggregations of the (numerical) measured variables are added into the body of the table, where the row/column headings act as data groups. The summary table should then yield an answer to the original question.
The definition above is probably more difficult to understand than just looking at some examples - several are presented in this vignette. An extended definition is also provided by Wikipedia.
Pivot tables can be found in everyday use within many commercial and non-commercial organisations. Pivot tables feature prominently in applications such as Microsoft Excel, Open Office, etc. More advanced forms are found in Business Intelligence (BI) and Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) tools.
To build a series of example pivot tables, we will use the bhmtrains
data frame. This contains all 83,710 trains that arrived into and/or departed from Birmingham New Street railway station between 1st December 2016 and 28th February 2017. As an example, the following are four trains that arrived into Birmingham New Street at the very start of this time period - note the data has been transposed (otherwise the table would be very wide).
library(pivottabler) renderBasicTable(t(bhmtrains[1:4,]),rowNamesAsHeader=TRUE, columnAlignment=c("left", "left", "left", "left", "left"))
GbttArrival and GbttDeparture are the scheduled arrival and departure times of the trains at Birmingham New Street, as advertised in the Great Britain Train Timetable (GBTT). Also given are the actual arrival and departure times of the trains at Birmingham New Street. Note that all four of the trains above terminated at New Street, hence they have arrival times but no departure times. The origin and destination stations of each of the trains is also included, in the form of three letter station codes, e.g. BHM = Birmingham New Street. The trainstations
data frame (used later in this vignette) includes a lookup from the code to the full station name for all stations.
The first train above:
Suppose we want to answer the question: How many ordinary/express passenger trains did each train operating company (TOC) operate in the three month period?
The following code will generate the relevant pivot table:
library(pivottabler) pt <- PivotTable$new() pt$addData(bhmtrains) pt$addColumnDataGroups("TrainCategory") pt$addRowDataGroups("TOC") pt$defineCalculation(calculationName="TotalTrains", summariseExpression="n()") pt$renderPivot()
The code above is the verbose version of the quick-pivot example near the start of this vignette (which used the qhpvt()
function). Both produce the same pivot table and output, but the verbose version helps more clearly explain the steps involved in constructing the pivot table.
Each line above works as follows:
pivottabler
also supports data.table - see the Performance vignette for more details.The following examples show how each line in the above example constructs the pivot table. To improve readability, each code change is highlighted.
# produces no pivot table library(pivottabler) pt <- PivotTable$new() pt$addData(bhmtrains) pt$renderPivot()
# specify the column headings library(pivottabler) pt <- PivotTable$new() pt$addData(bhmtrains) pt$addColumnDataGroups("TrainCategory") # << **** LINE ADDED **** << pt$renderPivot()
# specify the row headings library(pivottabler) pt <- PivotTable$new() pt$addData(bhmtrains) pt$addColumnDataGroups("TrainCategory") pt$addRowDataGroups("TOC") # << **** LINE ADDED **** << pt$renderPivot()
# specifying a calculation library(pivottabler) pt <- PivotTable$new() pt$addData(bhmtrains) pt$addColumnDataGroups("TrainCategory") pt$addRowDataGroups("TOC") # **** LINE BELOW ADDED **** pt$defineCalculation(calculationName="TotalTrains", summariseExpression="n()") pt$renderPivot()
The pivot table can be rendered as plain text to the console by using pt
:
library(pivottabler) pt <- PivotTable$new() pt$addData(bhmtrains) pt$addColumnDataGroups("TrainCategory") pt$addRowDataGroups("TOC") pt$defineCalculation(calculationName="TotalTrains", summariseExpression="n()") pt$evaluatePivot() pt
There follows below a progressive series of changes to the basic pivot table shown above. Each change is made by adding or changing one line of code. Again, to improve readability, each code change is highlighted.
First, adding an additional column data group to sub-divide each "TrainCategory" by "PowerType":
library(pivottabler) pt <- PivotTable$new() pt$addData(bhmtrains) pt$addColumnDataGroups("TrainCategory") pt$addColumnDataGroups("PowerType") # << **** CODE CHANGE **** << pt$addRowDataGroups("TOC") pt$defineCalculation(calculationName="TotalTrains", summariseExpression="n()") pt$renderPivot()
By default, the new data group does not expand the existing "TrainCategory" total. However, an additional argument allows the total column to also be expanded:
library(pivottabler) pt <- PivotTable$new() pt$addData(bhmtrains) pt$addColumnDataGroups("TrainCategory") pt$addColumnDataGroups("PowerType", expandExistingTotals=TRUE) # << ** CODE CHANGE ** << pt$addRowDataGroups("TOC") pt$defineCalculation(calculationName="TotalTrains", summariseExpression="n()") pt$renderPivot()
Instead of adding "PowerType" as columns, it can also be added as rows:
library(pivottabler) pt <- PivotTable$new() pt$addData(bhmtrains) pt$addColumnDataGroups("TrainCategory") pt$addRowDataGroups("TOC") pt$addRowDataGroups("PowerType") # << **** CODE CHANGE **** << pt$defineCalculation(calculationName="TotalTrains", summariseExpression="n()") pt$renderPivot()
It is possible to continue adding additional data groups. The pivottabler does not enforce a maximum depth of data groups. For example, adding the maximum scheduled speed to the rows:
library(pivottabler) pt <- PivotTable$new() pt$addData(bhmtrains) pt$addColumnDataGroups("TrainCategory") pt$addRowDataGroups("TOC") pt$addRowDataGroups("PowerType") pt$addRowDataGroups("SchedSpeedMPH") # << **** CODE CHANGE **** << pt$defineCalculation(calculationName="TotalTrains", summariseExpression="n()") pt$renderPivot()
As more data groups are added, the pivot table can seem overwhelmed with totals. It is possible to selectively show/hide totals using the addTotal
argument. Totals can be renamed using the totalCaption
argument. Both of these options are demonstrated below.
library(pivottabler) pt <- PivotTable$new() pt$addData(bhmtrains) pt$addColumnDataGroups("TrainCategory") pt$addRowDataGroups("TOC", totalCaption="Grand Total") # << **** CODE CHANGE **** << pt$addRowDataGroups("PowerType") pt$addRowDataGroups("SchedSpeedMPH", addTotal=FALSE) # << **** CODE CHANGE **** << pt$defineCalculation(calculationName="TotalTrains", summariseExpression="n()") pt$renderPivot()
This can then be rendered in outline layout:
library(pivottabler) pt <- PivotTable$new() pt$addData(bhmtrains) pt$addColumnDataGroups("TrainCategory") pt$addRowDataGroups("TOC", outlineBefore=list(isEmpty=FALSE, groupStyleDeclarations=list(color="blue")), outlineTotal=list(groupStyleDeclarations=list(color="blue"))) pt$addRowDataGroups("PowerType", addTotal=FALSE) pt$addRowDataGroups("SchedSpeedMPH", addTotal=FALSE) pt$defineCalculation(calculationName="TotalTrains", summariseExpression="n()") pt$renderPivot()
Outline layout renders row data groups as headings:
library(pivottabler) pt <- PivotTable$new() pt$addData(bhmtrains) pt$addColumnDataGroups("TrainCategory") pt$addRowDataGroups("TOC", outlineBefore=list(groupStyleDeclarations=list(color="blue")), outlineAfter=list(isEmpty=FALSE, mergeSpace="dataGroupsOnly", caption="Total ({value})", groupStyleDeclarations=list("font-style"="italic")), outlineTotal=list(groupStyleDeclarations=list(color="blue"), cellStyleDeclarations=list("color"="blue"))) pt$addRowDataGroups("PowerType", addTotal=FALSE) pt$defineCalculation(calculationName="TotalTrains", summariseExpression="n()") pt$renderPivot()
To construct basic pivot tables quickly, three functions are provided that can construct pivot tables with one line of R:
qpvt()
returns a pivot table. Setting a variable equal to the return value, e.g. pt <- qpvt(...)
, allows further operations to be carried out on the pivot table. Otherwise, using qpvt(...)
alone will simply print the pivot table to the console and then discard it.qhpvt()
returns a HTML widget that when used alone will render a HTML representation of the pivot table (e.g. in the R-Studio "Viewer" pane).qlpvt()
returns a Latex representation of a pivot table. These functions do not offer all of the options that are available when constructing a pivot table using the more verbose syntax.
The arguments to all three functions are essentially the same:
dataFrame
specifies the data frame that contains the pivot table data.rows
specifies the names of the variables (as a character vector) used to generate the row data groups.columns
specifies the names of the variables (as a character vector) used to generate the column data groups.calculations
specifies the summary calculations (as a character vector) used to calculate the cell values in the pivot table. The names of the elements in this vector become the calculation names (and so the calculation headings when more than one calculation is present in the pivot table).format
specifies the same formatting for all calculations (as either a character value, list or R function). See the "Formatting calculated values" section of the Calculations vignette for more details.formats
specifies a different format for each calculation (as a list of the same length as calculations
containing any combination of character values, lists or R functions).totals
specifies which totals are shown and can also control the captions of totals. This is described in more detail below.Specifying "=" in either the rows
or columns
vectors sets the position of the calculations in the row/column headings.
A basic example of quickly printing a pivot table to the console:
library(pivottabler) qpvt(bhmtrains, "TOC", "TrainCategory", "n()")
A slightly more complex pivot table being quickly rendered as a HTML widget, where the calculation headings are on the rows:
library(pivottabler) qhpvt(bhmtrains, c("=", "TOC"), c("TrainCategory", "PowerType"), c("Number of Trains"="n()", "Maximum Speed"="max(SchedSpeedMPH, na.rm=TRUE)"))
A quick pivot table with a format specified:
library(pivottabler) qhpvt(bhmtrains, "TOC", "TrainCategory", "mean(SchedSpeedMPH, na.rm=TRUE)", format="%.0f")
A quick pivot table with two calculations that are formatted differently:
library(pivottabler) qhpvt(bhmtrains, "TOC", "TrainCategory", c("Mean Speed"="mean(SchedSpeedMPH, na.rm=TRUE)", "Std Dev Speed"="sd(SchedSpeedMPH, na.rm=TRUE)"), formats=list("%.0f", "%.1f"))
In the above pivot table, the "Total" would be better renamed to something like "All" or "Overall" since a total for a mean or standard deviation does not make complete sense.
Totals can be controlled using the totals
argument. This works as follows:
totals=NONE
.totals=c("x", "z")
.totals=list("x"="All x", "y"="All y")
.Returning to the previous quick pivot example, the totals can now be renamed to "All ..." using:
library(pivottabler) qhpvt(bhmtrains, "TOC", "TrainCategory", c("Mean Speed"="mean(SchedSpeedMPH, na.rm=TRUE)", "Std Dev Speed"="sd(SchedSpeedMPH, na.rm=TRUE)"), formats=list("%.0f", "%.1f"), totals=list("TOC"="All TOCs", "TrainCategory"="All Categories"))
This section shows some examples from the other vignettes as a quick overview of some of the other capabilities of the pivottabler package. The R scripts to create each example below can be found in the other vignettes.
