Usage

do_geo_recode(
  dt = NULL,
  code = NULL,
  type = c("grunnkrets", "fylke", "kommune", "bydel"),
  year = NULL,
  con = NULL,
  geo = NULL,
  base = NULL,
  control = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

dt

Input data preferrably in a data.table format but is not mandatory

code

Code dataset of old and new codes in a data.table format.

type
