Details

Add variables back into the dataset that were removed. The removed variables are obtained from the raw_dat and merged into the working data based on a row identifier. The row identifier is created when a variable is removed using the select_vars function. The row identifier is used to match the raw data variables to working_dat.

add_vars(pcodMainDataTable, "pcodMainDataTable20200410", "pollock")
