rdb_to_xts {rdbnomics}

Transform the data.table object into a xts object

Description

For some analysis, it is more convenient to have a xts object instead of a data.table object.

Usage

  x,
  needed_columns = c("period", "series_code", "series_name", "value"),
  series_columns = c("series_code", "series_name")
)
