cpi_inflator_general_date returning NAs

MattCowgill commented 4 years ago

It's unclear to me whether there is something wrong with the function, or if I have misunderstood the intended use (there are no examples in the documentation).


library(grattan)

cpi_inflator_general_date(from_nominal_price = 1, 
                          from_date = as.Date("2010-01-01"), 
                          to_date = as.Date("2020-01-01"))
#> [1] NA

cpi_inflator_general_date(from_nominal_price = 1, 
                          from_date = as.Date("2010-01-01"), 
                          to_date = as.Date("2020-01-01"),
                          adjustment = "none")
#> [1] NA

what was the problem here, @HughParsonage ?

When the date extended beyond the internal data, it just reported a missing value. It now pursues a forecast.
