Package 'dkstat'

This function returns the entire table requested data from the StatBank. (http://www.statistikbanken.dk/statbank5a/ or http://www.dst.dk)

Description

Get all data from a table in the StatBank. This function provides all the query parameters on the user's behalf. You, as a user, do not need to specify anything other than a table name and you will be given the entire contents of the table in a nice long format. This is useful for you, if you would like to filter the table with e.g. {dplyr} functions or save the entire table for archival.

Arguments

table	Table from StatBank.
lang	language. "en" for english or "da" for danish.
parse_dst_tid	Logical. Default is TRUE. The date will be the first day of the period and the time zone is "UTC" and not the Danish "CET".
