Current period year-to-date

• For each group, ytd() will create the running annual sum of a value based on the calendar type specified

• The function returns a ti object which prints out the summary of steps and actions that will take to create the calendar table and calculations

• Use calculate to return the results

Usage

ytd(.data, .date, .value, calendar_type = "standard", fiscal_year_start = 1)

Arguments

.data

tibble or dbi object (either grouped or ungrouped)

.date

the date column to group by

.value

the value column to summarize

calendar_type

select either 'standard', '445', '454', or '544' calendar, see 'Details' for additional information

fiscal_year_start

integer 1-12, the month the fiscal year starts nearest to (default 1 = January). Only used with retail calendars ('445', '454', '544').

Value

ti object

Details

• This function creates a complete calendar object that fills in any missing days, weeks, months, quarters, or years

• If you provide a grouped object with dplyr::group_by(), it will generate a complete calendar for each group

• The function creates a ti object, which pre-processes the data and arguments for further downstream functions

standard calendar

• The standard calendar splits the year into 12 months (with 28–31 days each) and uses a 7-day week

• It automatically accounts for leap years every four years to match the Gregorian calendar

5-5-4 calendar

• The 5-5-4 calendar divides the fiscal year into 52 weeks (occasionally 53), organizing each quarter into two 5-week periods and one 4-week period.

• This system is commonly used in retail and financial reporting
