Retrieve cell values by row and column path

Usage

cell_values(tt, rowpath = NULL, colpath = NULL, omit_labrows = TRUE)

value_at(tt, rowpath = NULL, colpath = NULL)

# S4 method for class 'VTableTree'
value_at(tt, rowpath = NULL, colpath = NULL)

Arguments

tt: (TableTree or related class)
a TableTree object representing a populated table.
rowpath: (character)
path in row-split space to the desired row(s). Can include "@content".
colpath: (character)
path in column-split space to the desired column(s). Can include "*".
omit_labrows: (flag)
whether label rows underneath rowpath should be omitted (TRUE, the default), or return empty lists of cell "values" (FALSE).

Value

cell_values returns a list (regardless of the type of value the cells hold). If rowpath defines a path to a single row, cell_values returns the list of cell values for that row, otherwise a list of such lists, one for each row captured underneath rowpath. This occurs after subsetting to colpath has occurred.
value_at returns the "unwrapped" value of a single cell, or an error, if the combination of rowpath and colpath do not define the location of a single cell in tt.

Note

cell_values will return a single cell's value wrapped in a list. Use value_at to receive the "bare" cell value.

  split_cols_by("SEX") %>%
  split_rows_by("RACE") %>%
  summarize_row_groups() %>%
  split_rows_by("STRATA1") %>%
  analyze("AGE")
