use_first_valid_of

the input vectors. Order matters: these are searched and prioritized in the order they are supplied.

what value should be used when all of the vectors return <code>NA</code> for a certain index? Default is NA.

if_all_NA

At each position of the input vectors, iterates through in order and returns the first non-NA value. This is a robust replacement of the common <code>ifelse(!is.na(x), x, ifelse(!is.na(y), y, z))</code>. It's more readable and handles problems like <code>ifelse</code>'s inability to work with dates in this way.

The main janitor functions can: perfectly format data.frame column
names; provide quick counts of variable combinations (i.e., frequency
tables and crosstabs); and isolate duplicate records. Other janitor functions
nicely format the tabulation results. These tabulate-and-report functions
approximate popular features of SPSS and Microsoft Excel. This package
follows the principles of the "tidyverse" and works well with the pipe function
%>%. janitor was built with beginning-to-intermediate R users in mind and is
optimized for user-friendliness. Advanced R users can already do everything
covered here, but with janitor they can do it faster and save their thinking for
the fun stuff.
