This function performs a horizontal transformation on the data in the `DB` object, transforming the data format so that each record is represented in a horizontal layout. It is useful when you want to reshape or pivot the data for further analysis or presentation.
Usage
generate_horizontal_transform(DB, records)
Arguments
- DB
A validated `DB` object containing REDCap project data and settings. Generated using load_DB or setup_DB
- records
A vector of records to be transformed. The transformation applies only to the specified records from the `DB` object.
Value
A transformed version of the `DB` object, where the data is rearranged horizontally, typically in a format where columns represent different variables or field values for each record.
Details
The function begins by validating the `DB` object and checking that the records to be transformed exist. It then reshapes the data from a vertical to a horizontal format, allowing for easier access and analysis, especially when dealing with wide datasets.
