Features of Tidyquant
Bringing Excel to R in tidyquant 1.0.0
NEW: Tidyquant 1.0.0 is the “R for Excel Users” release. My aim is
to build functionality that helps users coming from an Excel
Background (background I came from). It’s important to have these
users feel at home. I have a full suite of functionality to accomplish
your Excel-to-R transition.-Matt
Details on the Excel integrations are covered in the blog article,
“Excel in R - Pivot Tables, VLOOKUPs, and
more”.
