import_labels: Import labels

Description

import_labels imports labels from a data.frame (data_label) to another one (.tbl). Works in synergy with save_labels().

save_labels saves the labels from a data.frame in a temporary variable that can be retrieve by import_labels.

Usage

import_labels(
  .tbl,
  data_label,
  name_from = "name",
  label_from = "label",
  warn_name = FALSE,
  warn_label = FALSE,
  verbose = deprecated()
)
save_labels(.tbl)

Value

A dataframe, as .tbl, with labels

.tbl invisibly. Used only for its side effects.

Arguments

.tbl

the data.frame to be labelled

data_label

a data.frame from which to import labels. If missing, the function will take the labels from the last dataframe on which save_labels() was called.

name_from

in data_label, which column to get the variable name (default to name)

label_from

in data_label, which column to get the variable label (default to label)

warn_name

if TRUE, displays a warning if a variable name is not found in data_label

warn_label

if TRUE, displays a warning if a label is not found in .tbl

verbose

deprecated
