relabel_cols package:ccfun R Documentation
Relabels a wide data2d data.table
Description:
Relabels the columns of a wide data2d data.table (as generated by
the selectTable function in ccdata). Because this uses the
data.table::setnames function then the name changes happen 'in
place' and nothing is returned
Usage:
relabel_cols(dt, label.in, label.out, dict = NULL)
Arguments:
dt: data.table to be relabelled
label.in: name for the item to be translated
label.out: name of the item to be used for the new column name
dict: defaults to ITEM_REF
Value:
0 (if the function completes)
Examples:
# use the ITEM_REF dictionary (not run)
# relabel_cols(tdt, "dataItem", "shortName")
# use a custom dictionary (not run)
# relabel_cols(tdt, "dataItem", "shortName", dict=analysis.dict)
