Round and prepare a value for display

This function is used within format_value to prepare numeric values within cells for formatting and display.

Usage

round_fmt(x, digits, na_str = "NA")

Arguments

x

numeric(1). Value to format

digits

numeric(1). Number of digits to round to, or NA to convert to a character value with no rounding.

na_str

character(1). The value to return if x is NA.

Value

A character value representing the value after rounding, containing containing any trailling zeros required to display exactly

digits

elements.

Details

This function combines the rounding behavior of R's standards-complaint round function (see the Details section of that documentation) with the strict decimal display of sprintf. The exact behavior is as follows:

1. If x is NA, the value of na_str is returned

2. If x is non-NA but digits is NA, x is converted to a character and returned

3. If x and digits are both non-NA, round is called first, and then sprintf is used to convert the rounded value to a character with the appropriate number of trailing zeros enforced.

Note

This differs from the base R round function in that NA digits indicate x should be passed converted to character and returned unchanged whereas round(x, digits =NA) returns NA for all values of x.

This behavior will differ from as.character(round(x, digits = digits)) in the case where there are not at least digits significant digits after the decimal that remain after rounding. It may differ from sprintf("%.Nf", x) for values ending in 5 after the decimal place on many popular operating systems due to round's stricter adherence to the IEC 60559 standard, particularly for R versions > 4.0.0 (see Warning in round documentation).

Examples

round_fmt(0, digits = 3)
#> [1] "0.000"
round_fmt(.395, digits = 2)
#> [1] "0.40"
round_fmt(NA, digits = 1)
#> [1] "NA"
round_fmt(NA, digits = 1, na_str = "-")
#> [1] "-"
round_fmt(2.765923, digits = NA)
#> [1] "2.765923"
