)

Arguments

dat

a data_frame from get_eurostat_raw().

time_format

a string giving a type of the conversion of the time column from the eurostat format. A "date" (default) converts to a Date() with a first date of the period. A "date_last" converts to a Date() with a last date of the period. A "num" converts to a numeric and "raw" does not do conversion. See eurotime2date() and eurotime2num().

select_time

a character symbol for a time frequency or NULL (default).

stringsAsFactors

if TRUE (the default) variables are converted to factors in original Eurostat order. If FALSE they are returned as strings.

keepFlags

a logical whether the flags (e.g. "confidential", "provisional") should be kept in a separate column or if they can be removed. Default is FALSE

Value

tibble in the molten format with the last column 'values'.
