Check for blank values in filter and filter group columns

Checks that no filter or filter group columns contain blank (empty string) values. Every cell in a filter or filter group column must have a value. If a row represents no specific breakdown, such as 'All genders', the value should be 'Total' rather than left blank.

Usage

check_filter_blanks(data, meta, verbose = FALSE, stop_on_error = FALSE)

Arguments

data

A data frame of the data file

meta

A data frame of the metadata file

verbose

logical, if TRUE prints feedback messages to console for every test, if FALSE run silently

stop_on_error

logical, if TRUE will stop with an error if the result is "FAIL", and will throw genuine warning if result is "WARNING"

Value

a single row data frame
