get_values: Retrieve values of labelled variables

Description

This function retrieves the values associated with value labels of an imported SPSS, SAS or STATA data set (via read_spss, read_sas or read_stata).

Usage

get_values(x, sort.val = TRUE)

Arguments

x

a variable (vector) with attached value labels.

sort.val

logical, if TRUE (default), values of associated value labels are sorted.

Value

• The values associated with value labels from x

Details

Labelled vectors are numeric by default (when imported with read-functions like read_spss) and have variable and value labels attached. The value labels are associated with those values from the labelled vector. This function returns the values associated with the vector's value labels, which may differ from actual values in the vector (e.g. due to missings) or are not represented in sorted order.
