remove_label_rows {excluder} | R Documentation |
Remove two initial rows created in Qualtrics data
Description
The remove_label_rows()
function filters out the initial label rows from
datasets downloaded from Qualtrics surveys.
Usage
remove_label_rows(x, convert = TRUE, rename = FALSE)
Arguments
x |
Data frame (downloaded from Qualtrics). |
convert |
Logical indicating whether to convert/coerce date, logical and numeric columns from the metadata. |
rename |
Logical indicating whether to rename columns based on first row of data. |
Details
The function (1) checks if the data set uses Qualtrics column names, (2) checks if label rows are already used as column names, (3) removes label rows if present, and (4) converts date, logical, and numeric metadata columns to proper data type. Datasets imported using qualtRics::fetch_survey() should not need this function.
The convert
argument only converts the StartDate, EndDate,
RecordedDate, Progress, Finished, Duration (in seconds),
LocationLatitude, and LocationLongitude columns. To convert other data
columns, see dplyr::mutate()
.
Value
An object of the same type as x
that excludes Qualtrics label rows and
with date, logical, and numeric metadata columns converted to the correct
data class.
Examples
# Remove label rows
data(qualtrics_raw)
df <- remove_label_rows(qualtrics_raw)
