📢 📦New R package alert: typecleanR I’ve just released an early version of typecleanR on GitHub! A tidyverse‑friendly toolkit for cleaning coercion types in a data. It provides helpers for: * Numeric coercion → safely convert text to numbers. * Date coercion → strict conversion when all values match. *Logical coercion → handle TRUE/FALSE/T/F consistently. * Lenient datetime parsing → flexibly parse mixed formats, drop bad values to NA. 👉 It’s live here: github.com/abiyug/typecleanR Install with: devtools::install_github("abiyug/typecleanR") 💡 I’d love for the community to test run it, break it, and share feedback before I polish docs and add CI. Your input will help shape the package into something robust and useful for messy Excel/CSV workflows. #rstats #R

💫👇 Data wrangling pro tip Skip arrange() slice(1) when you want the first or last row per group. Use slice_min() and slice_max() instead. These two function can directly give you the alphabetically smallest or largest value per group. #rstats @RosanaFerrero #tidydatatuesday
