GetDefaultFormatSpec Method (R)

.GetDefaultFormatSpec(object). Returns the default format for CellText.Number objects. The argument object is a reference to the associated BasePivotTable object. The function returns a single value or a vector with two elements depending on the type of format. When a single value is returned, it is the integer code associated with the format. Codes and associated formats are listed in Table 1. For formats with codes 5 (Mean), 12 (Variable), 13 (StdDev), 14 (Difference), and 15 (Sum), the result is a 2-element vector whose first element is the integer code and whose second element is the index of the variable in the active dataset used to determine details of the resulting format. You can set the default format with the SetDefaultFormatSpec method.
  • Instances of the BasePivotTable class have an implicit default format of GeneralStat.

Example

table = spss.BasePivotTable("Table Title",
                            "OMS table subtype")
cat("Default format: ", BasePivotTable.GetDefaultFormatSpec(table))
