able to do more than just transpose values. (27.12.2025)sort_plus(): Sort data frame observations with some
additions. (27.12.2025)split_by(): Since split_by_var() didn’t
have any benefit, split_by_var() and
split_by_condition() are now fused into one function.
Additionally to give the new function more power, formats can be used to
not only split up a data frame by the actual values in the data frame,
but also into the desired ones passed with a format. Using multilabels
it is also possible to generate completely new values and therefore data
frames on the fly. (30.12.2025)set(): Stack data frames by column names with optional
character compression. (30.12.2025)resolve_intersection(): Compares if two vectors have

to a global environment so that every function which is capable of
outputting styled Excel workbooks can use them without passing the
style parameter every time individually. (06.01.2026)get_style_options(): Print the currently set global
options. (06.01.2026)reset_style_options(): Set global style options to
default values of excel_output_style() and
number_format_style(). (06.01.2026)close_file(): A simple, more readable wrapper for

quotation marks. (21.12.2025)keep()/dropp(): Now support variable

Instead the function now checks on it’s own, whether the provided data
frame is pre summarised or not. (23.12.2025)dots_to_char(): Renamed from
args_to_char() and is now able to get the original argument
from up the environment tree and return it as character vector.
(02.01.2026)args_to_char(): Now converts the contents of a given
argument to a character vector. (02.01.2026)excel_output_style(): Parameter file is
now split up into save_path and file (meaning
just the file name + extension). (06.01.2026)any_table(), frequencies(),
crosstabs(), export_with_style(): The
style parameter is now set to the new global styling
options as default instead of excel_output_style().
(06.01.2026)any_table(): The var_labels and

as default. (07.01.2026)print,
monitor and na.rm have been implemented into
the functions capable of using them. (07.01.2026)if.(): If only a single variable name is provided, it
is now evaluated as !is.na(var_name). (10.01.2026)retain_value(): Reworked iternally, can now also handle
character variables. (10.01.2026)excel_output_style(): New parameters
as_heatmap, heatmap_low_color,
heatmap_middle_color and heatmap_high_color.
These can also be set as global options. If as_heatmap is
TRUE the tables from any_table(),
frequencies(), crosstabs() and
export_with_style() receive a conditional formatting.
(11.01.2026)crosstabs(): Now has a new parameter
show_total to control output of row and column totals.
(11.01.2026)keep()/dropp(): The “:” can now be used as
a placeholder for “starts with” (“text:”), “ends with” (“:text”) and
“contains” (“:text:”). (12.01.2026)any_table(): Is now able to generate ‘pct_value’
statistic without outputting additional ‘sum’ values. (12.01.2026)build_master(): Now generates a code block which can
rebuilt the master file. Additionally the folder structure is now
generated in code blocks which can open the folders and files. Overall
gave the master file a bit more visual structure. (12.01.2026)split_by_var() and split_by_condition():
See comment under ‘New functions’. (30.12.2025)is_numeric(): There was simply no benefit.

before applying formats, which could lead to not matching formats, if a
numeric value was intentionally stored as character value.
(07.01.2026)any_table(): When na.rm was TRUE and many table cells
where generated while only having few observations, it could happen that
some combinations weren’t generated and a result mismatch happend.
Results are now joined instead of cbind together to be safe.
(11.01.2026)summarise_plus(): Now uses faster
collapse::na_omit for NA removal. (27.12.2025)dummy_data(): Optimized and now just takes half the
time to generate data. (27.12.2025)summarise_plus(): Swapped in more collapse
functions. Turned off sorting of collapse::GRP when using
the shortcut route. (28.12.2025)apply_formats(): NA value subsetting is now only done
once and not twice with interval formats.
data.table::setkey is now only called on the format data
frame. (28.12.2025)summarise_plus(): When na.rm option is TRUE and only
statistics based on sums are selected, summarise_plus() is
now able to take the shortcut route. This also gives
any_table() a huge performance boost when na.rm option is
TRUE. (29.12.2025)collapse functions.
(29.12.2025)any_table(): If more than two group percentages have to
be computed, any additional one gets computed faster, because they are
computed on a smaller data frame. (29.12.2025)apply_format(): Removed redundant data.table
transformations. (11.01.2026)any_table(): Added an error check in case a variable
combination was provided, which is not part of a pre summarised data

order_by “values” while variable names have underscores.
(04.12.2025)any_table(): Using pre summed data now also works, if
variable names carry underscores. (04.12.2025)CRAN release on 20.11.2025

know, what the minimum or maximum value of a variable is.
(20.10.2025)discrete_format(): Implemented keyword “other” with
which one can catch any other value not covered by the explicitly
specified values. (27.10.2025)any_table(): Now returns styling meta information as a
third list element. This meta information can be used by
combine_into_workbook(). (26.10.2025)any_table(): Now supports underscores in variable
names. (29.10.2025)any_table(): Added new column ordering possibilities by
“columns” or “values_stats”. (03.11.2025)any_table(): Can now output tables even though no
column variables are specified. (05.11.2025)any_table() the header and table row heights as well
as the column widths set by the style option where 1 row/column to
short. (14.10.2025)any_table() the row heights didn’t catch the whole

ordering of the column header it could happen, that the header wasn’t
merged correct in the Excel workbook. This was fixed. (04.11.2025)any_table(): Doesn’t run into an error, if the table
only consists of one value column. (05.11.2025)excel_output_style() the options
column_widths and row_heights now start at the
