Crosstable Assistant GUI

crosstable

Crosstable is a package centered on a single function, crosstable, which easily computes descriptive statistics on datasets. You can learn about it on its dedicated page.

CrosstableAssistant is an RShiny application, designed as an RStudio addin, which makes the use of crosstable much easier by providing a graphical interface for all its parameters.

Installation

install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("DanChaltiel/crosstable")
devtools::install_github("DanChaltiel/crosstableAssistant")

Of note, it seems that updating packages cause the whole process to fail. In this case, choosing 3: None when asked for which package to update seems to solve this problem. Otherwise, please fill an issue describing the error message.

Usage

library(crosstable)

my_dataset = crosstable::mtcars2
crosstableAssistant(my_dataset)

Alternatively, if you are using RStudio, you can use the “Crosstable Assistant” addin. Just select your dataset in the “source” panel and it will be loaded inside the assistant.

Acknowledgement

This crosstableAssistant package is highly inspired by dreamRs’ amazing addin esquisse (link), which is designed to easily build plots with ggplot2. If you never did, you should definitely give it a try.

Thanks dreamRs!

"had non-zero exit status" Problem

When I am trying to install the package by devtools::install_github("DanChaltiel/crosstableAssistant").

Of note, it seems that updating packages cause the whole process to fail. In this case, choosing 3: None

I chose No.3, but it still had a problem.
