cansim (version 0.2.3)

normalize_cansim_values: Normalize retrieved data table values to appropriate scales

Description

Facilitates working with Statistics Canada data table values retrieved using the package by setting all units to counts/dollars instead of millions, etc. If "replacement_value" is not set, it will replace the VALUE field with normalized values and drop the scale column. Otherwise it will keep the scale columns and create a new column named replacement_value with the normalized value. It will attempt to parse the REF_DATE field and create an R date variable. This is currently experimental.

Usage

normalize_cansim_values(data, replacement_value = NA,
  normalize_percent = TRUE, default_month = "01", default_day = "01")

Arguments

default_month
