Examples

# NOT RUN {
# Data and hierarchies used in the examples
x <- SSBtoolsData("sprt_emp")  # Employment in sport in thousand persons from Eurostat database
geoHier <- SSBtoolsData("sprt_emp_geoHier")
ageHier <- SSBtoolsData("sprt_emp_ageHier")
HierarchyComputeDummy(x, list(age = ageHier, geo = geoHier, year = "rowFactor"), 
                      inputInOutput = FALSE, crossTable = TRUE)
# }
