tabyl() prints proportions labelled as percent

[hammadsheikh]

Bug report

tabyl() is supposed to provide percentages but actually provides proportions. For instance, a value 0.5 in the "percent" column does not mean 0.5% as the label would indicate. Recommendation: either change the label to "proportion" or multiply the values by 100.

---

tabyl() is provide proportions (range 0-1) but labels them as "percent"

level <- rep(c("High", "Medium", "Low"), 20)
janitor::tabyl(level)
#>   level  n   percent
#>    High 20 0.3333333
#>     Low 20 0.3333333
#>  Medium 20 0.3333333

Feel free to assign task to me. More than willing to help.

Hello, thanks for weighing in, hopefully you're enjoying janitor despite this flaw 😉 I've opened up a discussion for implementing a fix. It will involve at the least breaking people's code, and at the most splitting janitor into two different packages, so will be a non-trivial effort - but I appreciate your offer to help.
