Prints a summary of a data frames contents, including details such as variable names, types, unique values, missings and min/max values. It also tells you the number of observations and variables present in the data frame, memory usage and the number of duplicate observations.
content_report(data_frame, output = "console", monitor = FALSE)Returns a list containing the global information as well as a data table containing the per variable information.
The data frame to get the content information from.
The following output formats are available: console (default) or text.
FALSE by default. If TRUE, outputs two charts to visualize the functions time consumption.
content_report() is based on the 'SAS' procedure Proc Contents, which provides
a summary of global information one one hand like number of observations and variables among
many others and on the other hand shows per variable information like type and length.
'R' doesn't store the same information in a data frame like 'SAS', but there are many useful information to get a quick overview of a data frame. With this function you don't need to look at each variable individually. You can simply run it over a data frame and get values for: number of unique values, missing values (absolute and relative), min and max value as well as the top value.
# Example data frame
my_data <- dummy_data(100)
content_report(my_data)
