Exporting descriptives table to Exel format (.xlsx or .xls)

export2xls.Rd

This function takes the result of createTable and exports the tables to Excel format (.xlsx or .xls).

Usage

export2xls(x, file, which.table="descr", nmax=TRUE, nmax.method=1, header.labels=c())

Arguments

x

an object of class 'createTable'.

file

file where table in Excel format will be written.

which.table

character indicating which table is printed. Possible values are 'descr', 'avail' or 'both' (partial matching allowed), exporting descriptives by groups table, availability data table or both tables, respectively. In the latter case ('both'), two sheets are built, one for each table. Default value is 'descr'.

nmax

logical, indicating whether to show the number of subjects with at least one valid value across all row-variables. Default value is TRUE.

nmax.method

integer with two possible values: 1-number of observation with valid values in at least one row-variable; 2-total number of observations or rows in the data set or in the group. Default value is 1.

header.labels

see the 'header.labels' argument from createTable.

Note

The way to compute the 'N' shown in the bivariate table header, controlled by 'nmax' argument, has been changed from previous versions (<1.3). In the older versions 'N' was computed as the maximum across the cells withing each column (group) from the 'available data' table ('avail').
