All, This may not be the proper place to ask as the question is dplyr and removing white space using mutate. My code is below:
```{r, echo = FALSE, message = FALSE conn <- myconnection ```` ```{r, echo = FALSE, message=FALSE} fhlloanbalance <- tbl(conn, "fhlloan_balance_view") colnames(fhlloanbalance) ``` ```{r, echo=FALSE, message=FALSE} fhlloanbalance %>% select(fctrdt, servicer) %>% filter(fctrdt == '2020-01-01') %>% mutate(servicer = 'I need to remove all white space') ``` I have tried a number of approaches using stringr - stringi - and gsub. The problem I think I am facing: I cannot seem to operate on the column in sql this is relative straight forward using replace. I have tried several approaches and scanned the internet but I cannot seem to come up with a workable solution. Any help is appreciated. I suppose I could just default back to sql but would prefer to use dplyr.
