Many vectors (indicators, multipliers) are create in the wide form to conform matrixes in analytical functions. For printing it is more useful to have them in long form.

Usage

vector_transpose_longer(
  data_table,
  names_to = "nace_r2",
  values_to = "value",
  key_column_name = NULL,
  .keep = FALSE
)

vector_transpose(
  data_table,
  names_to = "nace_r2",
  values_to = "value",
  key_column_name = NULL,
  .keep = FALSE
)

Arguments

data_table

A matrix or vector that normally has a key column.

names_to

Defaults to 'nace_r2'.

values_to

Defaults to 'value'.

key_column_name

The name of the first column. Defaults to NULL when it is not changed. It should usually match the key column of the matrix or vector you would like to join the new vector created with vector_transpose_longer.

.keep

Keep the indicator identifier column? Defaults to FALSE.

Value

A long form vector with a key column, and optionally the identifier of the indicator in the first column.

Details

This is a wrapper around pivot_longer so you do not necessarily need to import or load the entire tidyr package.

Examples

vector_transpose_longer(
  data.frame(indicator = "my_inidcator", 
             agriculture = 0.0123,
             manufacturing = 0.1436,
             trade = 0.0921)
)
#> # A tibble: 3 × 2
#>   nace_r2        value
#>   <chr>          <dbl>
#> 1 agriculture   0.0123
#> 2 manufacturing 0.144 
#> 3 trade         0.0921
