Functions should have a single argument (the vector) and should return the formatted values as a character vector.

Usage

set_formatter(x, ..., values = NULL, part = "body")
set_formatter_type(
  x,
  fmt_double = "%.03f",
  fmt_integer = "%.0f",
  fmt_date = "%Y-%m-%d",
  fmt_datetime = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S",
  true = "true",
  false = "false",
  na_str = ""
)

Arguments

x

a flextable object

...

values
