Flextable

flextable 0.9.11 brings ‘patchwork’ integration to combine tables with plots and Quarto markdown support inside cells with as_qmd().

tables::tabular() is the closest thing to the PROC TABULATE in the current R ecosystem. The as_flextable() function of the ‘flextable’ package allows you to obtain a table from the result of tables::tabular() which can then be formatted and integrated into a document of your choice.

The post presents the new RTF output supported by the ‘flextable’ package and shows an illustrated example.

In this article we present the graphic output generated by flextable and how to take advantage of it with ‘ggplot2’ or ‘grid’.

An illustrated summary of the new features of the ‘flextable’ package: how to create crosstabulations of aggregations, how to use flextable for printing data.frame in R Markdown documents and how to split column names into multiple lines.

The package flextable is existing since mid 2016 and I did not made any communication about it; obviously if I wrote it, I’d like it to be used by R users! That post is an attempt to fix that.

The flextable package makes it simpler to create tables for reporting purposes. The goal of the package is to provide a set of functions that can be used to design and format tabular reporting.
