The bottom of the data view gives a useful summary of the number of rows and columns in the data frame, see below:
It is now easy to swap and view the metadata:
Please could the Column information also be shown here? It could just be a copy of the same column information.
Note, though That it is possible to have a select. This is also shown nicely in the data view and would be equally nice in the metadata view.
And then add here in the Column metadata view:
@N-thony if you are still volunteering, this is an area you worked on before? Otherwise it seems an obvious task for @derekagorhom
@lilyclements I wonder if there is a function already, or one could be included to help, when the append dialog gives an error, because columns have the same name, (in 2 data frames) but are of different types. The error message is not helpful. In this example, ELEVATION imported as numeric in one data frame, and character in another. I wonder if this might be a simple function, and just provided as code - and in our script library. All it does is to take 2 data frames and record, in the output window, if they have the same name but the type is different. So here it might just record:
a) No different variable types - or -
b) Variable Name1 Name2
ELEVATION Numeric Character
etc?
