This function is a wrapper around a very common data transformation that is
done every time we make a frequency plot. It changes the x variable by
multiplying it 100 and creates a new variable called pct_lab which is a
string of the x variable but with a "%" symbol added.
Usage
pct_conv(data, x = pct, decimals = 1)
Arguments
- data
A data frame or vector. Can be left blank if used during piping
- x
a variable we want to convert to a percentage. The value is pct
by default and should always be pct.
- decimals
Number of decimal places the percent should be rounded to
Value
The original data.frame found in data with two changes. The column
called "pct" is multiplied by 100 and a new column is created called "pct_lab"
that is the same as pct but with a "%" symbol at the end of it.
Examples
library(dplyr)
# get the frequencies of top andupdate
test_data %>%
get_freqs(top) %>%
pct_conv()
#> # A tibble: 4 × 4
#> top n pct pct_lab
#> <fct> <dbl> <dbl> <chr>
#> 1 Strongly agree 25 10 10%
#> 2 Somewhat agree 85 34 34%
#> 3 Somewhat disagree 75 30 30%
#> 4 Strongly disagree 65 26 26%
