redcapAPI (version 2.7.4)

widerRepeated: Transform Data Into Wide Format

Description

Converts a dataframe into wide format given a single REDCap form. This function assumes that the Records argument is the result of exportRecordsTyped, and that all empty values have been previously dropped. This will only widen dataframes that have a unique identification variable (e.g. 'record_id'), "redcap_event_name" and "redcap_repeat_instrument" in the fields. Otherwise, the data passed in will be returned unchanged.

Usage

widerRepeated(Records, rcon)

Arguments

Records

A data.frame containing the records from exportRecordsTyped

rcon

A REDCap connection object as created by unlockREDCap.
