Separate measures in flat tables

Separate groups of measures into different flat tables. For each group we must indicate a name. If we indicate more names than groups of measures, the measures not included in other groups are also included in a new group.

Usage

separate_measures(ft, measures, names, na_rm)

# S3 method for class 'flat_table'
separate_measures(ft, measures = NULL, names = NULL, na_rm = TRUE)

Arguments
