Converts haven_labelled variables to character vectors using value labels as text. Same as to_label() but returns character instead of factor.

Usage

to_character(data, ..., drop.na = TRUE, add.non.labelled = FALSE)

Arguments

data

A data frame, tibble, or a single vector.

...

Optional: unquoted variable names (tidyselect supported). If empty, converts all haven_labelled columns.

drop.na

If TRUE (default), tagged NAs become regular NA.

add.non.labelled

If TRUE, unlabelled values are included as their numeric string representation. Default: FALSE.

Value

The input with labelled variables converted to character. For single vector input, returns a character vector.

Details

This is a convenience wrapper around to_label() that calls as.character() on the result. Use this when you need character output (e.g., for string operations) rather than factor output.

The variable label ("label" attribute) is preserved on the output.
