R package that moves embedded subheader rows into their own column and unwraps values split across rows.
Why you might care
Useful when spreadsheet-style data mixes group labels such as taxonomic families into an observation column, making group-wise summaries hard. It is designed as a dplyr-style verb that works with magrittr pipes, and it can match subheaders by regular expression or by name. The approach is described in a 2018 Hystrix paper on sharing analysis-ready data.
