dateRangeInput与data.table响应性失效问题求助

问题背景 #

原本正常运行的Shiny App，将dateRangeInput()及相关data.table的日期列格式改为dd/mm/yyyy后，汇总表（dt1）不再对日期选择变更和其他数据表格（dt2、dt3）的修改做出响应。

核心问题分析 #

1. 日期解析错误：as.Date()默认使用yyyy-mm-dd格式解析字符串，直接处理dd/mm/yyyy格式的日期会返回NA，导致日期筛选逻辑完全失效，无法正确过滤数据。
2. 数据覆盖逻辑错误：当用户修改table2/table3时，直接将筛选后的数据集dt2_2/dt3_2替换为原始修改数据，破坏了日期筛选后的汇总依赖关系。
3. observe触发逻辑缺失：部分汇总逻辑没有正确监听依赖项变更，导致数据更新后无法自动重新计算。

关键修复点说明 #

1. 日期解析指定格式：所有涉及日期字符串转Date类型的操作，都添加format="%d/%m/%Y"参数，确保dd/mm/yyyy格式的字符串能被正确解析。
2. 修正数据更新逻辑：用户修改table2/table3时，只更新原始数据集dt2/dt3，筛选后的dt2_2/dt3_2由单独的observe根据日期自动重新计算，避免覆盖依赖关系。
3. 添加依赖检查：使用req()确保依赖项存在后再执行逻辑，避免空值错误。
4. 简化汇总计算：去掉不必要的by=names分组，直接计算总和，逻辑更简洁高效。
