With n_categories you can check how many of valid values are valid for the variable. With the last attribute, stats, you can check different basic operations to describe the varaible (n_unique, n_na, pct_na and summary).

Usage

Dat(x = character(), format = NULL, skip_stats = FALSE)

x	object to be created as Dat type
format	a character vector of date-time formats. Default is "%-m/%-d/%Y"
skip_stats	a logical evaluating to TRUE or FALSE indicating whether variable stats should be calculated and added to the hd_Dat object. The stats are n of unique categories, n of NA values, percentage of NA values and a frequency table.
