Object not found for column

[carrykyrie]

I'm having problems running this code, every time it says that the object is not found. I manually went through and deleted the columns that had zero as a value. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. This is concerning data from a fish population.

The problem is that you haven't given mutate() the data frame that you're working with.

data %>%
mutate(**your code here**)

should work. In the future it's much easier to help you troubleshoot if you include a self-contained reprex (short for reproducible example). It will help us help you if we can be sure we're all working with/looking at the same stuff. And is much easier to read than looking at screenshots.

There's a nice FAQ on how to do a minimal reprex for beginners, below:

FAQ: How to do a minimal reproducible example ( reprex ) for beginners

A minimal reproducible example consists of the following items: A minimal dataset, necessary to reproduce the issue The minimal runnable code necessary to reproduce the issue, which can be run on the given dataset, and including the necessary information on the used packages. Let's quickly go over each one of these with examples: Minimal Dataset (Sample Data) You need to provide a data frame that is small enough to be (reasonably) pasted on a post, but big enough to reproduce your issue. Let's say, as an example, that you are working with the iris data frame head(iris) #> Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species #> 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.…

What to do if you run into clipboard problems

If you run into problems with access to your clipboard, you can specify an outfile for the reprex, and then copy and paste the contents into the forum.

reprex::reprex(input = "fruits_stringdist.R", outfile = "fruits_stringdist.md")

Ah, okay. Thank you, I'm still pretty new to R Studio so thank you for giving me that information concerning the reprex.
