Brad Lindblad | Professional Financial Reports with {rmarkdown} | Posit

✨ GitHub: https://github.com/bradlindblad/pro_r...

Abstract:
With finance there will always be a need for reports, and as long as there's a need for reports, there will be R users who want to create them as lazily as possible.

R Markdown lets us create incredibly customized and branded reports that can run automatically each month or day or whatever, and it all starts with the wonderful parameterizing features of R Markdown.

In this lightning talk, we will work through a practical example of creating an income statement for a group of theoretical office branches. You will learn how to make a parameterized R Markdown report, organize your R Markdown files and even create a custom cover letter, all in R.
