This release includes one improvement and one change in anticipation of R 4.3.0.

Improvements

pt$findCells() gains additional arguments lowN and highN. These arguments allow the cell with the min/max value or the N cells with the lowest/highest values to be easily found.

When either of these arguments is specified, the list of cells returned from pt$findCells() is sorted into the corresponding order by cell value.

Examples:

  • Specifying lowN=1 will find the cell with the lowest value.
  • Specifying highN=1 will find the cell with the highest value.
  • Specifying lowN=5 will find the five cells containing the lowest values, sorted into ascending order by cell value.
  • Specifying highN=5 will find the five cells containing the highest values, sorted into descending order by cell value.

R 4.3.0 Change

The change described below will not affect most pivottabler package users.

R 4.3.0 includes a fix/breaking change that affects how the base R match() function works and how the %in% operator works. Specifically Date, POSIXct and POSIXlt values are matched as character values from R 4.3.0 rather than their underlying internal value. This breaks one of the pivottabler package automated tests. Whilst fixing this test, the opportunity was also taken to to improve how pivottabler filters work with Date, POSIXct and POSIXlt values when filters specify more than one value of these types (e.g. when visual totals are in use) by replacing uses of the base::intersect(), base::union() and base::unlist() functions with versions that better handle Date, POSIXct and POSIXlt values.
