Assimilate all value labels of multiple variables as part of a GADSdat or all_GADSdat object.
Arguments
- GADSdat
GADSdatobject imported viaeatGADS.- varNames
Character string of a variable name.
- lookup
Look up
data.frame.

Examples
# Example data set
facs_df <- data.frame(id = 1:3, fac1 = c("Eng", "Aus", "Ger"),
fac2 = c("Ger", "Franz", "Ita"),
fac3 = c("Kor", "Chi", "Alg"),
stringsAsFactors = TRUE)
facs_gads <- import_DF(facs_df)
assimilateValLabels(facs_gads, varNames = paste0("fac", 1:3))
