Value

A tibble with the data transformed back into wide form.

Arguments

data,

a dataframe or tibble containing your dataset.

type,

Examples

if (FALSE) {
# argen_acled <- acled_api(country = "Argentina",start_date = "2022-01-01",
#                          end_date="2022-02-01", acled_access = T, prompt = F)
# argen_acled_long_actors <- acled_transform_longer(argen_acled,
#                        type = "full_actor") # Transforming the data to long form

# argen_acled_wide <- acled_transform_wider(argen_acled_long_actors,
#                        type = "full_actor") # Transforming the data back to wide form

# nrow(argen_acled_wide) # Number of rows in the dataset
# [1] 145 # Wide form

# nrow(argen_acled_long_actors) # Number of rows in the dataset
# [1] 263 # Long form
