I need to create table with same footnote being placed in both header and body of the table, I cannot figure out how to make it happen using flextable, what I can create is something as below:
library(flextable)
library(dplyr)
library(tidyr)
data(iris)
iris %>%
as_tibble %>%
gather(.,key = variable,value = value,-Species) %>%
group_by(Species,variable) %>%
summarise(value=formatC(mean(value),digits = 2,format = 'f')) %>%
ungroup %>%
spread(.,key = variable,value = value) %>%
flextable %>%
footnote(.,part = 'header',i = 1,j = c(2:5),
value = as_paragraph(c('Rounded to two decimal places')),
ref_symbols = c('*'),
inline=FALSE) %>%
footnote(.,part = 'body',i = c(1:3),j = 1,
value = as_paragraph(c('Rounded to two decimal places')),
ref_symbols = c('*'),
inline=FALSE)
Currently I created two footnotes with the same statement for header and body, I wonder if I can merge the two statements into one.
Thanks!
(I did not imagine footnotes would be repeated when this function has been implemented but) by using merge_v, you can merge them if identical:
library(flextable)
library(dplyr)
library(tidyr)
data(iris)
iris %>%
as_tibble %>%
gather(.,key = variable,value = value,-Species) %>%
group_by(Species,variable) %>%
summarise(value=formatC(mean(value),digits = 2,format = 'f')) %>%
ungroup %>%
spread(.,key = variable,value = value) %>%
flextable %>%
footnote(.,part = 'header',i = 1,j = c(2:5),
value = as_paragraph(c('Rounded to two decimal places')),
ref_symbols = c('*'),
inline=FALSE) %>%
footnote(.,part = 'body',i = c(1:3),j = 1,
value = as_paragraph(c('Rounded to two decimal places')),
ref_symbols = c('*'),
inline=FALSE) %>%
merge_v(part = "footer")
I have a dataset that I want to visualize overall and disaggregated by a few different variables. I created a flexdashboard with a toy shiny app to select the type of disaggregation, and working code to plot the correct subset.
My approach is repetitive, which is a hint to me that I'm missing out on a better way to do this. The piece that's tripping me up is the need to count by date and expand the matrix. I'm not sure how get group counts by week in one pipe. I do it in several steps and combine.
Thoughts?
(ps. I asked this question on RStudio Community, but I think it's probably more of a "SO question". I don't have permissions to delete it from RSC, so apologies for the cross-post.)

Update:
#Jon Spring suggested writing a function to reduce some repetition (applied below), which is a nice improvement. The basic approach is the same, however. Segment, calculate, combine, plot. Is there a way to do this without breaking apart and putting back together?

Thanks for explaining more about your goals. I think the approach #simon-s-a suggests will simplify things. If we can run the grouping dynamically, and structure it so that we don't need to know the possible components in those groups beforehand, it will be a lot easier to maintain.
Here's a minimum viable product that rebuilds the plotting function to include the grouping logic inside it.
Once grouped by date and whatever our grouping variable is, it counts how many rows each group has, then spreads those so each group gets a column.
Then I use padr::pad to pad out any missing time rows in between, and replace all the NA's with zeros.
Finally, that data frame is converted to an xts object and fed into dygraph, which seems to handle the multiple columns automatically.

This is a good place to make a function, to shorten your code and make it less prone to error.
http://r4ds.had.co.nz/functions.html
A complicating bit is that programming with dplyr often requires wading into a framework called tidyeval, which is very powerful but can be intimidating.
https://dplyr.tidyverse.org/articles/programming.html
(Here's an alternative approach that sidesteps tidyeval: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/seplyr/vignettes/using_seplyr.html)
In your scenario, it's possible to avoid these challenges entirely by doing a bit of manipulation before and after your function. It's not as elegant, but works.
BTW, I can't guarantee it'll work since you didn't share a verifiable reprex (e.g. including a sample of data with the same form as yours), but it worked with the fake data I made up. (See bottom.) Sorry, I missed the chunk where your sample data was provided.
prep_dat <- function(filtered_dat, col_name = "total") {
filtered_dat %>%
mutate(new = 1) %>%
arrange(date) %>%
# time series analysis
tibbletime::as_tbl_time(index = date) %>% # convert to tibble time object
select(date, new) %>%
tibbletime::collapse_by("1 week", side = "start", clean = TRUE) %>%
group_by(date) %>%
mutate(total = sum(new, na.rm = TRUE)) %>%
distinct(date, .keep_all = TRUE) %>%
ungroup() %>%
# expand matrix to include weeks without data
complete(
date = seq(date[1], date[length(date)], by = "1 week"),
fill = list(total = 0)
)
}
Then you could call it with your filtered data and the name of the total column. This fragment should be able to replace the ~20 lines you're currently using:
males <- prep_dat(dat_fake %>%
filter(sex == "male")) %>%
rename("total_m" = "total")
Fake data that I tested on:
dat_fake <- tibble(
date = as.Date("2018-01-01") + runif(500, 0, 100),
new = runif(500, 0, 100),
sex = sample(c("male", "female"),
500, replace = TRUE),
lang = sample(c("english", "french", "spanish", "portuguese", "tagalog"),
500, replace = TRUE)
)
I think you can make some gains by changing the order of your preparation. Right now the flow of your app is approximately:
Data => prepare all combinations => select desired visualization => make plot
Consider instead:
Data => select desired visualization => prepare required combination => make plot
This would make use of Shiny's reactivity to (re)prepare the data required for the requested plot in response to changes in the user's selection.
By way of code snippets (Sorry, I don't have sufficient familiarity with flexdashboard and tibbletime to ensure this code runs, but I hope it is enough to highlight the approach):
Your control selects the column you want to focus on (note we use "All" = "'1'" so this evaluates to a constant in the group-by, else it has to be handled separately):
radioButtons("diss", label = "Disaggregation",
choices = list("All" = "'1'",
"By Sex" = "sex",
"By Language" = "lang",
"By other" = "column_name_of_'other'"),
selected = 1)
And then use this in your group by to prepare only the data required for the present visualization (you'll need to adjust the function suggested by #Jon_Spring in response to this earlier group-by):
preped_dat = reactive({
dat %>%
group_by_(input$diss) %>%
# etc
})
Before plotting (you'll need to adjust the plotting function in response to the possible change in data format):
renderDygraph({
totals = preped_data()
dygraph(totals) %>%
dySeries("total", label = ) %>%
dyRangeSelector()
})
With regard to group_by you can use group_by_ if all your arguments are text strings, or group_by(!! sym(input$diss), other_column_name) if you want to mix the text string input from your control with other column names.
One possible disadvantage of this change in approach is reduced responsiveness during interactivity if your data set is large. The present approach does all the computation up front and then minimal computation each selection - this may be preferable if you have a large amount of processing. My suggested approach will have minimal up front processing and moderate computation each selection.
I've searched a bit, but I'm not able to find a way to acheive my axis goals. There are really 2 questions here.
How can I guarantee the spacing between my major ticks is the same? If it means some dots overlap, then so be it.
Is there a way to add a zoom/date range control to this chart? Data goes from 2013 to current and is continually added.
2.b. If I do this, is there a way to have it as you zoom out it automatically start bucketing by week, then month, then year? and of course the inverse.
Here is where you can get the data: https://opendata.miamidade.gov/311/311-Service-Requests-Miami-Dade-County/dj6j-qg5t
