Group rows

This vignette introduces nice and easy way to display grouped data frame created by dplyr::group_by.

library(ftExtra)
library(dplyr)
grouped_iris <- iris %>%
  group_by(Species) %>%
  slice(1, 2)

grouped_mtcars <- mtcars %>%
  mutate(model = rownames(mtcars)) %>%
  head() %>%
  select(model, cyl, mpg, disp, am) %>%
  group_by(am, cyl)

Groups as merged columns

By specifying as_flextable(groups_to = 'merged'), grouping variables are merged vertically. In this case, the default theme is changed to flextable::theme_vanilla because the booktab theme is not intuitive.

Single grouping variable

grouped_iris %>%
  as_flextable(groups_to = "merged")

Position of grouping variables

Grouping variables are moved to left by default. If you want to keep their positions, specify group_pos = 'asis'.

grouped_mtcars %>%
  as_flextable(groups_to = "merged", groups_pos = "asis") %>%
  flextable::theme_vanilla()
#> Warning: ftExtra:::as_flextable.data.frame is deprecated and will be removed in
