Error in dst_date_parse: week numbers error

[aleksandrsa]

Hello,

I've run into an issue that seems to be related to a date format that is not specified in the dst_date_parse function — weekly data where week numbers are defined as YYYYUNN (e.g., "2007U01").

Sample case:

data <- dkstat::dst_get_data(
  table = "dodc2",
  OMRÅDE = "All Denmark",
  KØN = "Total",
  ALDER = "Total",
  Tid = "*",
  lang = "en",
  format = "BULK"
)

The error message is as follows:

Error in dst_date_parse(dst_date = dst_data$TID) (test.R#120): 
None of the regular expressions were matched. 
Please inspect the dates.

Update: noticed that the date conversion step can be turned off entirely by respective parameter parse_dst_tid = FALSE.

Thanks for suggesting this feature. I have added it and will merge the update once the tests pass. @aleksandrsa, if you're still interested in this feature, please give it a go when the update is released to r-universe a bit later today. Let me know if something is not as expected :)
