levels

What should be used for the factor levels: the labels, the values or labels prefixed with values?

Should values with no label be converted to `NA`?

Details

If some values doesn't have a label, automatic labels will be created, except if nolabel_to_na is TRUE.

Run this code
# NOT RUN {
v <- labelled(c(1,2,2,2,3,9,1,3,2,NA), c(yes = 1, no = 3, "don't know" = 9))
to_character(v)
to_character(v, missing_to_na = FALSE, nolabel_to_na = TRUE)
to_character(v, "v")
to_character(v, "p")
# }
