Crosstable Versions Save

Easy and thorough description of datasets

v0.7

6 months ago

New features

  • New officer helper body_add_table_section(), which adds a table (crosstable or flextable) which can be surrounded by a title (level 3 by default), a legend, and/or a short sentence.
  • set_label() now accepts a function as a value (e.g. set_label(mtcars2, toupper)).
  • Argument format_fixed(scientific) can now be FALSE to force standard format. Can be set through options(crosstable_scientific_log=FALSE) (#49).
  • New argument format_fixed(epsilon) to format values as "<epsilon". Can be set through options(crosstable_format_epsilon=0.001).
  • Markdown implementation has improved, with support of crossing patterns (#26), newline tokens (#30), and many new tags (#51).
    You can now use body_add_normal("Here is **`some code` in bold & *italic* ** <br> And here is <color:red>red text</color>.")
    See ?body_add_normal for more insight.

Bug fixes and improvements

  • Reimplement description of columns containing both NA (missing values) and "NA" (characters) (#42).
  • Argument as_flextable(by_header) can now be set through options(crosstable_by_header=FALSE) to remove all headers.
  • Argument body_add_crosstable(header_fontsize) now defaults to 1.2*body_fontsize.
  • Adds an error message in as_flextable() when the crosstable is empty (#41).
  • Fixes a regression where references were not added anymore.

0.6.1

Fixes for CRAN checks.

v0.6.0

1 year ago

New features

  • New function transpose_crossable() (or simply t()), which transposes a crosstable so that the labels and column names are swapped.

    ct = crosstable(mtcars2, c(mpg, drat, wt, qsec))
    t_ct = t(ct)
    as_flextable(t_ct)
    
  • New function pivot_crossable(), which pivots a crosstable so that the variable column is spread as several columns.

    ct = crosstable(mtcars2, c(mpg, drat, wt, qsec))
    p_ct = pivot_crosstable(ct)
    as_flextable(p_ct)
    
  • body_add_table_list() now replaces body_add_crosstable_list() and body_add_flextable_list(). It allows both crosstables and flextable (and even dataframes, which are turned to flextables first) and has a new argument fun_after to control what comes after the table. See examples in ?body_add_table_list.

  • New function get_percent_pattern(). See also the new vignette vignette("percent_pattern").

  • New argument crosstable(drop_levels=TRUE) to drop unused levels in factors.

  • copy_label_from() now works on dataframes as well.

  • as_flextable(header_show_n_pattern) can now be a list of names cell and total, so that the "Total" column can be labelled too.

Breaking changes (minor)

  • showNA="no" is now consistent with stats::addmargins(), gtsummary::tbl_cross(missing="no"), and janitor::tabyl(show_na=FALSE). It now actually removes all NA from the equation, instead of not doing much (#24).

  • In percent_patern, the proportion relative to the total sample p_cell has been renamed to p_tot for clarity.

Bug fixes and improvements

  • Removed unexpected warning "NaNs produced" thrown when calculating percentages in totals while the number of NA is higher than the other classes (#20).
  • The output is now correct when header_show_n=TRUE and remove_header_keys=TRUE while using multiple by variables (#21).
  • Flextables will not have missing columns when using multiple by variables that has same key levels.
  • String interpolation works as intended in body_add_xxx_legend().
  • crosstable() will not fail if fisher.test() fails [#28]
  • forcats::fct_explicit_na() is not used anymore [#29]
  • body_add_normal() now removes ``` symbols when showing code [#31]
  • Trailing commas will not make apply_labels() fail anymore [#32]
  • Performance improvement (around 30% for small tables) as confidence intervals are not calculated anymore when not needed [#34]

Many thanks to Stephan Daus (@sda030) for his bug reports and feedback on this release.

v0.5.0

1 year ago

New features

  • New clean_names_with_labels() which cleans the names of the dataframe but keeps the old names as labels. Obviously inspired by {janitor}.
  • New variables n_col, n_row, and n_tot available for percent_pattern. Also, every variable has now its counterpart with the _na suffix which accounts for missing values.
    For instance, one can now write:
    crosstable(mtcars2, cyl, percent_pattern="{p_col} ({n}/{n_col}) [95%CI: {p_col_inf}; {p_col_sup}]")
    crosstable(mtcars2, cyl, percent_pattern="{p_col_na} ({n}/{n_col_na}) [95%CI: {p_col_inf}; {p_col_sup}]")
  • percent_pattern can now be a list of characters with names body, total_row, total_col, and total_all to also control the pattern in other parts of the crosstable than the body.

Improvements

  • crosstable_options() does not need the "crosstable_" prefix anymore, so the autocomplete is less clumsy. Options with the prefix will still work though. crosstable_options(reset=TRUE) is deprecated in favor of the new crosstable_reset_options().
  • crosstable_test_args() and crosstable_effect_args() now have arguments to easily control the non-default parameters.
  • Allow scientific notation for big numbers. Default to numbers for which abs(log10(x))>4. This can be controlled using options, e.g. crosstable_options(scientific_log=5).
  • In MS Word, crosstables will now break across pages by default. You can revert this by using body_add_crosstable(allow_break=FALSE) or using crosstable_options(). This is the pendant of keepnext in officer/flextable.
  • New argument body_add_crosstable(max_cols=25), which limits the size of crosstables in Word documents. This prevents very large tables to be wrongly included.
  • peek() is now usable on non-crosstable objects as well. as_flextable() method will be applied on the object if available, otherwise flextable() will be applied.
  • Better error messages in import_labels() when data_label doesn't have the right columns.

Deprecations

  • rename_dataframe_with_labels() is now deprecated in favor of the better named rename_with_labels().
  • compact() is now deprecated in favor of ct_compact() to avoid the conflict with purrr::compact(). It will be removed in the next version.

Bug fixes

v0.4.0

2 years ago

New features

  • You can now use basic markdown formats in body_add_normal(): **bold**, *italic*, _underlined_, and ``code\.
  • New keep_id argument in compact.crosstable(), which enables as_flextable(compact=TRUE, keep_id=TRUE)
  • You can use as_flextable(header_show_n_pattern) to change the glue pattern of these group sizes. The default is {.col} (N={.n}); you can use {.col_key} and {.col_val} when by has multiple strata.
  • Functions body_add_table_legend() and body_add_figure_legend() earn an argument legend_prefix. Useful when set through global options, for instance to make every table/figure start with the name of the study.
  • crosstable_options() can handle new options for all those new features.

Improvements

  • You can now set normal style directly in body_add_normal() (it was only doable through options before).
  • Removed the "variable" header in compacted crosstables.
  • Dataset mtcars2 is now a tibble, with its rownames as a column named "model".
  • as_flextable(by_header=FALSE) now removes the group header (if by has only one stratum).
  • as_flextable(header_show_n) now also works if by has multiple strata.
  • as_flextable(header_show_n=TRUE) adds group size for all groups.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed a bug when numeric variables are treated as categorical (failed if one had a NA value).
  • Fixed a bug that caused body_add_normal() to add an extra empty paragraph if there was a reference in the text.
  • Fixed a bug so that body_add_normal() can be used without argument.
  • Fixed a bug in effect=TRUE when some groups were present in table() but not in glm() due to missing values.

v0.3.2

2 years ago

New features

  • Global options management is now easier thanks to crosstable_options() and autocompletion. Almost every argument can now be set using options. See ?crosstable_options for further details.
  • You can also use crosstable_peek_options() to see which crosstable option is currently set.
  • New argument num_digits in crosstable(). It was about time!
  • New argument header_show_n for as_flextable(), which adds the group size (N=xx) to the header of the flextable.
  • New arguments (and global options) par_before and par_after in respectively body_add_table_legend() and body_add_figure_legend(), which add an empty paragraph before/after the legend (for readability).
  • New function for {officer}: body_replace_text_at_bkms(), to replace several bookmarks at once.
  • New global option crosstable_options(crosstable_zero_percent=FALSE), which removes percentages whenever n==0 (as it would always be 0%). I should add it as an argument of crosstable() one day...

Improvements

Bug fixes

  • fixed a bug in crosstable() occurring when one of funs does not have ellipsis (...) and funs_arg contains an unused argument.

v0.3.1

2 years ago

New features

  • New parameter percent_pattern in replacement of crosstable(margin=x) for better control over proportion format. Introduces the possibility of displaying confidence intervals (using Wilson score method) along with proportions.
  • New function body_add_crosstable_list() to add a list of crosstables all at once, separated by some customizable titles. Also works with flextables and plain old dataframes.
  • New argument crosstable_padding_v for as_flextable() to manage vertical padding. Also available as the global option crosstable_padding_v.
  • New global options crosstable_{arg} for almost all arguments. See ?crosstable_options for more details.

Bug fixes

  • fixed a bug in as_flextable() occurring when showNA=TRUE (header row was disappearing)
  • fixed a bug occurring very randomly, when rounding caused format_fixed() to return a numeric value ("Error: Can't combine ..1$value and ..2$value .")
  • crosstable now shows all unused levels in by when it is a factor
  • removed extra bold columns in compacted crosstables displayed as flextables

Internal

  • renamed branch master to main
  • use a lot more snapshots in tests

v0.2.2-CRAN

2 years ago

New features

  • Added support for multiple by! You can now write crosstable(mtcars, c(mpg, gear), by=c(am, vs)) %>% as_flextable().
  • Added a macro that can autofit every table in the document at once. This macro can be generated using the function generate_autofit_macro() which creates a file that should then be imported into MS Word.
  • body_add_crosstable() gains a padding_v argument to control the vertical padding of all rows.
  • body_add_title() and body_add_xxx_legend) gain a glue functionality. You can now write body_add_title("The iris dataset (nrow={nrow(iris)})", 1).
  • as_workbook() can now take a named list of crosstables, that will be considered as sheets.
  • New parameter percent in format_fixed(percent=TRUE/FALSE) to easily format percentages.

Minor changes

  • style is deprecated in body_add_table_legend() and body_add_image_legend() in favor of name_format.
  • Changed the behaviour of some effect calculations that were done by column instead of rows. That might change some outputs but not their meaning.
  • body_add_normal() now removes duplicated spaces (squish) in its input by default. Use squish=FALSE to override.
  • docx_bookmarks2() gains a target parameter.

Bug fixes

  • effect calculation now takes into account the reference level (first level of a factor).
  • body_add_crosstable() rightly takes body_fontsize and header_fontsize into account.
  • Added few more warnings, so that you know what went wrong.

Internal

v0.2.1-CRAN

2 years ago
  • First version on CRAN
  • Improved functions naming in funs, especially with multiple combinations of named and unnamed functions, including lambda or anonymous
  • Use simplify=FALSE in get_label() to get a list instead of a vector

v0.2.0

2 years ago

Misc

  • added lots of global options for easier implementation. See ?crosstable_options for the comprehensive list.
  • added label helpers: apply_labels() (inspired by expss's), copy_label_from() and rename_dataframe_with_labels()
  • added as_workbook() to export a crosstable as a formatted openxlsx Excel workbook, for copypasting purpose.
  • added peek() to open a crosstable in a temporary Word document, as copy-pasting in RStudio's viewer is very limited.
  • fixed the bug when a columns contained both "NA" (string) and <NA> (missing).
  • fixed the bug where function in funs was not found if declared in another environment.
  • numerous other minor bugfixes and internal improvements.

Officer

  • added cross-reference functionality to body_add_figure_legend() and body_add_table_legend().
    Use the bookmark argument to set a reference, then write "\\@ref(my_bkm)" inside body_add_normal() to call it.
  • added docx helpers to add lists: body_add_list() and body_add_list_item(). These will unfortunately not work with the default officer template.
  • added some alternatives for some officer functions:
    • docx_bookmarks2(), which list bookmarks found in the header and footer as well
    • body_add_img2(), and body_add_gg2(), which win a units=c("in", "cm", "mm") argument
    • write_and_open(), an alternative to print() for documents, which tries to open it right away.

Deprecations

  • Ellipsis (...) use in crosstable() has been deprecated for a more "tidy" syntax. Write crosstable(mtcars2, c(disp, vs)) instead of crosstable(mtcars2, disp, vs). Ellipsis will be defunct in future v1.0.
  • crosstable(.vars=) has been renamed to crosstable(cols=).
  • moystd() has been renamed to meansd().
  • body_add_glued() has been superseded by body_add_normal(), which inherits all functionalities and more.
