`spec_type_to_var_spec`: consider adding `format` when remove duplicates?
Current spec_type_to_var_spec
combines multiple rows into one when variable, length, label, type
are the same, but formats are different, e.g., below two rows from Variables
sheet are considered as one row, so one of the formats is dropped:
Order | Dataset | Variable | Label | Data Type | Length | Significant Digits | Format |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
28 | ADPFT | PARAMCD | Parameter Code | Text | 8 | $PFT | |
22 | ADAETTE | PARAMCD | Parameter Code | Text | 8 | $AETTE |
var_spec
:
variable | length | label | type | format | common |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
PARAMCD | 8 | Parameter Code | Text | $PFT | FALSE |
Should format
be considered when removing duplicates in spec_type_to_var_spec
?
