Overview

About

Maintained by David BosakFirst published 2020-08-0725 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Contains a set of functions that can be used to apply formats to data frames or vectors. The package aims to provide functionality similar to that of SAS® formats. Formats are assigned to the format attribute on data frame columns. Then when the fdata() function is called, a new data frame is created with the column data formatted as specified. The package also contains a value() function to create a user-defined format, similar to a SAS® user-defined format.
