Convert a vector of municipality names to municipality ids

Given a vector of names of municipalities or regions, return a named vector of municipality IDs/codes. Codes of municipalities and regions follow the Swedish standard for municipality codes. The codes extracted can be used e.g. to pass as a parameter to get_values(). This function is the inverse to municipality_id_to_name().

Usage

municipality_name_to_id(munic_df, municipality, remove_na = FALSE)

Arguments

munic_df

A Kolada Municipality metadata table, as created by e.g. get_municipality.

municipality

Name of one or several municipalities. Case insensitive. Allows repeats.

remove_na
