yearquarter format

[arnaud-feldmann]

Yearquarter strings usually depend of locale. That is, in my language (French), the dates would often be in in the "2020T4" format (T for trimestre)

Could it be possible to get a format arg ?

yearquarter("2020T4")
#<yearquarter[1]>
#[1] "2020 Q2"
yearquarter("2020Q4")
#<yearquarter[1]>
#[1] "2020 Q4"

You can use the format arg in the format() function to have the desired display, but not the input of yearquarter().

format(tsibble::yearquarter("2020T4"), format = "%YT%q")
#> [1] "2020T2"
