missing leading 0 in old NSF IDs #21

Closed mccallc closed 3 years ago

mccallc commented 3 years ago

Awards prior to 2010 or so should have leading 0s in their ID numbers, which makes them unsearchable in the NSF web search. These are probably dropped in conversion to a numeric variable type, we should keep them as characters

oops, this is actually a bug in libreoffice calc. Values as returned by R are characters with the leading zeros
