Make date(time) formats inconsistent

Description

Takes any date(times) column and transforms it into a character column, sampling from any number of random of valid character representations.

Usage

messy_datetime_formats(
  data,
  cols = NULL,
  formats = c("%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S", "%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S")
)

messy_date_formats(
  data,
  cols = NULL,
  formats = c("%Y/%m/%d", "%d/%m/%Y")
)

Arguments

data	input dataframe
cols	set of columns to apply transformation to. If NULL will apply to all POSIXt columns (for messy_datetime_formats()) or Date columns (for messy_date_formats()).
formats	A vector of any number of valid strptime() formats. Multiple formats will be sampled at random.

Value

a dataframe the same size as the input data.

Change the timezone of datetime columns

Description

Takes any number of datetime columns and changes their timezones either totally at random, or from a user-provided list of timezones.

Usage

messy_datetime_tzones(data, cols = NULL, tzones = OlsonNames(), force = FALSE)

Arguments

data	input dataframe
cols	set of columns to apply transformation to. If NULL will apply to all POSIXt columns.
tzones	Valid time zones to sample from. By default samples from all OlsonNames(), but can be set to options more relevant to the data.
force	By default (force = FALSE) the datetimes will have their actual hour/minute values changed along with the timezones. If force = TRUE, which requires lubridate, the datetime values will remain the same and only the timezone will differ.

Value

a dataframe the same size as the input data.

Splits date(time) column(s) into multiple columns

Description

These functions can split the "date" and "time" components of POSIXt columns and the "hour", "month", and "day" components of Date columns into multiple columns.

Usage

split_datetimes(data, cols = NULL, class = c("character", "date"))

split_dates(data, cols = NULL)

Arguments

data	input dataframe
cols	set of columns to apply transformation to. If NULL will apply to all POSIXt columns (for split_datetimes()) or Date columns (for split_dates()).
class	For split_datetimes(). The desired output of the separate "date" and "time" columns. "character" leaves the columns as character vectors. "date" will reformat the date as a "Date" and the time as a "POSIXct" object, with a dummy date appended to it. In split_dates(), all returned columns are integers.

Value

a dataframe
