objects of class [Date] are not supported by report_table() about report

[rempsyc]

For future reference could you provide a reprex to show current behaviour? Thanks!

For now, we treat them as factors:

set.seed(123)
x <- sample(seq(as.Date("1999/01/01"), as.Date("1999/01/05"), by = "day"), 30, replace = TRUE)
report::report(x)
#> x: 5 levels, namely 1999-01-01 (n = 6, 20.00%), 1999-01-02 (n = 6, 20.00%),
#> 1999-01-03 (n = 9, 30.00%), 1999-01-04 (n = 4, 13.33%) and 1999-01-05 (n = 5,
#> 16.67%)

dear all, sorry for not being clear before. Let me know if this code can clarify the issue. I've just used the first two variable of my df.

str(example1)
'data.frame': 572 obs. of 2 variables:
$ ID : Factor w/ 26 levels "1","2","3","4",..: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...
$ date: Date, format: "2020-08-03" "2020-08-25" ...

and if I summarise it is:

summary(example1)
ID date
1 : 22 Min. :2020-08-03
2 : 22 1st Qu.:2021-02-08
3 : 22 Median :2021-07-05
4 : 22 Mean :2021-06-24
5 : 22 3rd Qu.:2021-11-29
6 : 22 Max. :2022-05-26
(Other):440

If I call report I get this message:

report::report(example1)
Error: Oops, objects of class [Date] are not supported (yet) by report_table() :(

Thanks for your support!

One of your suggestions was treating dates like factors, which is what report now does with the recent commits. We could also change the behaviour to something else, but I rarely work with dates, so I'm not sure what's the most appropriate way to report date-variables.

cool, thanks a lot for your work!
I didn't understandbbefore because for some reason it seems not working on my version report_0.5.7
I've tried to reproduce your code:

set.seed(123)
x <- sample(seq(as.Date("1999/01/01"), as.Date("1999/01/05"), by = "day"), 30, replace = TRUE)
report::report(x)
Error: Oops, objects of class [Date] are not supported (yet) by report() :(
Want to help? Check out https://easystats.github.io/report/articles/new_models.html

I've checkd x and it is:

str(x)
Date[1:30], format: "1999-01-03" "1999-01-03" "1999-01-02" "1999-01-02" "1999-01-03" "1999-01-05" "1999-01-04" ...

do you have any suggestion?

For now, it's only available in the GitHub version of report. You can install it, after installing the easyverse package, by running easystats::install_latest().
