Get information in an (F)ODS File

Description

list_ods_sheets lists all sheets in an (f)ods file. The function can be used for listing sheets in both ods and flat ods files. (list_fods_sheets) is also available, which can only list sheets in flat ods files.

Usage

list_ods_sheets(
  path,
  include_external_data = FALSE,
  ods_format = c("auto", "ods", "fods"),
  guess = FALSE
)

list_fods_sheets(path, include_external_data = FALSE)

ods_sheets(path)
list_ods_sheets(
  path,
  include_external_data = FALSE,
  ods_format = c("auto", "ods", "fods"),
  guess = FALSE
)

list_fods_sheets(path, include_external_data = FALSE)

ods_sheets(path)

Arguments

`path`	Path to the (f)ods file
`include_external_data`	A boolean value to show or hide sheets containing archived linked data (default false)
`ods_format`	character, must be "auto", "ods" or "fods". The default "auto" is to determine the format automatically. By default, the format is determined by file extension, unless `guess` is `FALSE`.
`guess`	logical, If the file extension is absent or not recognized, this controls whether we attempt to guess format based on the file signature or "magic number".

Details

The default "include_external_data" for ods_sheets is TRUE to maintain compatibility with version 1 of readODS. It will change to TRUE in version 3.

Value

A character vector of sheet names

Read Data From (F)ODS File

Description

read_ods is a function to read a single sheet from an (f)ods file and return a data frame. The function can be used for reading both ods and flat ods files. (read_fods) is also available, which can only read flat ods files.

Usage

read_ods(
  path,
  sheet = 1,
  col_names = TRUE,
  col_types = NULL,
  na = "",
  skip = 0,
  formula_as_formula = FALSE,
  range = NULL,
  row_names = FALSE,
  strings_as_factors = FALSE,
  verbose = FALSE,
  as_tibble = TRUE,
  .name_repair = "unique",
  ods_format = c("auto", "ods", "fods"),
  guess = FALSE,
  trim_ws = TRUE,
  n_max = Inf
)

read_fods(
  path,
  sheet = 1,
  col_names = TRUE,
  col_types = NULL,
  na = "",
  skip = 0,
  formula_as_formula = FALSE,
  range = NULL,
  row_names = FALSE,
  strings_as_factors = FALSE,
  verbose = FALSE,
  as_tibble = TRUE,
  .name_repair = "unique",
  trim_ws = TRUE,
  n_max = Inf
)
read_ods(
  path,
  sheet = 1,
  col_names = TRUE,
  col_types = NULL,
  na = "",
  skip = 0,
  formula_as_formula = FALSE,
  range = NULL,
  row_names = FALSE,
  strings_as_factors = FALSE,
  verbose = FALSE,
  as_tibble = TRUE,
  .name_repair = "unique",
  ods_format = c("auto", "ods", "fods"),
  guess = FALSE,
  trim_ws = TRUE,
  n_max = Inf
)

read_fods(
  path,
  sheet = 1,
  col_names = TRUE,
  col_types = NULL,
  na = "",
  skip = 0,
  formula_as_formula = FALSE,
  range = NULL,
  row_names = FALSE,
  strings_as_factors = FALSE,
  verbose = FALSE,
  as_tibble = TRUE,
  .name_repair = "unique",
  trim_ws = TRUE,
  n_max = Inf
)

Arguments

`path`	path to the (f)ods file.
`sheet`	sheet to read. Either a string (the sheet name), or an integer sheet number. The default is 1.
`col_names`	logical, indicating whether the file contains the names of the variables as its first line. Default is TRUE.
`col_types`	Either NULL to guess from the spreadsheet or refer to `readr::type_convert()` to specify cols specification. It can also be a shorthand such as "ccf" ("character", "character", "factor"), a list, or an object created by `readr::cols()`. NA will return a data frame with all columns being "characters". Please note that it will not speed up the reading by a lot by specifying this parameter explicitly. It is more for accuracy.
`na`	Character vector of strings to use for missing values. By default read_ods converts blank cells to missing data. It can also be set to NULL, so that empty cells are treated as NA.
`skip`	the number of lines of the data file to skip before beginning to read data. If this parameter is larger than the total number of lines in the ods file, an empty data frame is returned.
`formula_as_formula`	logical, a switch to display formulas as formulas "SUM(A1:A3)" or as the resulting value "3"... or "8".. . Default is FALSE.
`range`	selection of rectangle using Excel-like cell range, such as `range = "D12:F15"` or `range = "R1C12:R6C15"`. Cell range processing is handled by the `cellranger` package. If sheet name is in the range, such as `range = "Sheet2!A2:B7"`, this sheet name is used instead of the provided `sheet`. If `sheet` is not the default value (1), a warning is given.
`row_names`	logical, indicating whether the file contains the names of the rows as its first column. Default is FALSE.
`strings_as_factors`	logical, if character columns to be converted to factors. Default is FALSE.
`verbose`	logical, if messages should be displayed. Default is FALSE.
`as_tibble`	logical, if the output should be a tibble (as opposed to a data.frame). Default is TRUE.
`.name_repair`	A string or function passed on as `.name_repair` to `tibble::as_tibble()` `"minimal"`: No name repair `"unique"` : Make sure names are unique and not empty `"check_unique"`: Check names are unique, but do not repair `"universal"` : Checks names are unique and valid R variables names in scope A function to apply custom name repair. Default is `"unique"`.
`ods_format`	character, must be "auto", "ods" or "fods". The default "auto" is to determine the format automatically. By default, the format is determined by file extension, unless `guess` is `FALSE`.
`guess`	logical, If the file extension is absent or not recognized, this controls whether we attempt to guess format based on the file signature or "magic number".
`trim_ws`	logical, should leading and trailing whitespace be trimmed?
`n_max`	numeric, Maximum number of data rows to read. Ignored if `range` is given.

Value

A tibble (tibble) or data frame (data.frame) containing a representation of data in the (f)ods file.

Write Data to (F)ODS File

Description

Function to write a single data frame or a list of data frames to a (f)ods file.

Usage

write_ods(
  x,
  path = tempfile(fileext = ".ods"),
  sheet = "Sheet1",
  append = FALSE,
  update = FALSE,
  row_names = FALSE,
  col_names = TRUE,
  na_as_string = FALSE,
  padding = FALSE
)

write_fods(
  x,
  path = tempfile(fileext = ".fods"),
  sheet = "Sheet1",
  append = FALSE,
  update = FALSE,
  row_names = FALSE,
  col_names = TRUE,
  na_as_string = FALSE,
  padding = FALSE
)
write_ods(
  x,
  path = tempfile(fileext = ".ods"),
  sheet = "Sheet1",
  append = FALSE,
  update = FALSE,
  row_names = FALSE,
  col_names = TRUE,
  na_as_string = FALSE,
  padding = FALSE
)

write_fods(
  x,
  path = tempfile(fileext = ".fods"),
  sheet = "Sheet1",
  append = FALSE,
  update = FALSE,
  row_names = FALSE,
  col_names = TRUE,
  na_as_string = FALSE,
  padding = FALSE
)

Arguments

`x`	data frame or list of data frames that will be sheets in the (f)ods. If the list is named, the names are used as sheet names
`path`	Path to the (f)ods file to write
`sheet`	Name of the sheet; ignore if `x` is a list of data frames
`append`	logical, TRUE indicates that x should be appended to the existing file (path) as a new sheet. If a sheet with the same sheet_name exists, an exception is thrown. See update. Please also note that writing is slightly slower if TRUE. Default is FALSE. Ignore if `x` is a list of data frames
`update`	logical, TRUE indicates that the sheet with sheet_name in the existing file (path) should be updated with the content of x. If a sheet with sheet_name does not exist, an exception is thrown. Please also note that writing is slightly slower if TRUE. Default is FALSE. Ignore if `x` is a list of data frames
`row_names`	logical, TRUE indicates that row names of x are to be included in the sheet. Default is FALSE
`col_names`	logical, TRUE indicates that column names of x are to be included in the sheet. Default is TRUE
`na_as_string`	logical, TRUE indicates that NAs are written as string; FALSE indicates that NAs are written as empty cells
`padding`	logical, TRUE indicates that the sheet is padded with repeated empty cells to the maximum size, either 2^20 x 1024 (if the number of columns of `x` is less than or equal 1024) or 2^20 x 16,384 (otherwise). This is the default behaviour of Microsoft Excel. Default is FALSE

Details

This function emulates writexl::write_xlsx() and openxlsx::write.xlsx() except in the handling of list columns. The expected behaviour for this is undefined and the two functions behave differently. This function handles list columns by converting them to character vectors of R code (similar to the output of dput()), which is probably not ideal.

Value

A (F)ODS file written to the file path location specified by the user. The value of path is also returned invisibly

# This is however faster
write_ods(list("Sheet1" = mtcars, "plant" = PlantGrowth), "mtcars.ods", row_names = TRUE)
# write flat ODS file
write_fods(mtcars, "mtcars.fods", sheet = "mtcars")
