My first training post - error in geom_bar()

R code
1

Hello,

I tried to solve this but cannot figure it out. Below is a reprex of my problem. I am expecting a ggplot bar plot but get an error saying that the data is not found.

Thanks for helping me!

# install and load packages
pacman::p_load(rio, here, janitor, tidyverse, reprex, datapasta)

# import data
surv_raw <- data.frame(
  stringsAsFactors = FALSE,
  adm3_name_res = c(NA,"Mountain Rural",
                    "Mountain Rural","East II","West III"),
  sex = c("m", "f", "f", "f", "f")
)


# clean the surveillance data
surv_clean <- surv_raw %>% 
  clean_names()

# make a horizontal bar plot of cases per district, filled by sex
ggplot(
  data = Surv_clean,
  mapping = aes(y = adm3_name_res, fill = sex))+
  geom_bar()
#> Error: object 'Surv_clean' not found

Hi Zarah,

Try using a lower case ā€œsā€ in the ggplot command (it current has a capital S but your data frame is surv_clean). Hope this works!

ggplot(
data = surv_clean,
mapping = aes(y = adm3_name_res, fill = sex))+
geom_bar()
