[startz]

Possibly you needed to say library(tidyr)

[jeunyah]

Not really. I am a challenge using separate(employee, name, into = c('first_name','last_name'), sep =' ')

[jeunyah]

separate(employee, name, into = c('first_name', 'last_name'), sep =' ')
Error in separate(employee, name, into = c("first_name", "last_name"), :
could not find function "separate"

[jeunyah]

separate(employee, name, into = c('first_name', 'last_name'), sep =' ')
Error in separate(employee, name, into = c("first_name", "last_name"), :
could not find function "separate"

[startz]

Have you installed the package "tidyr" or "tidyverse"?

[jeunyah]

Yes.I have installed that

[startz]

Usually the message "could not find..." indicates that you haven't issued the library command before using the function.

[jeunyah]

So how can I do that?

[startz]

Restart R. Then put all your code into a script. Copy and paste the script here and separately show us what error you get. This way, someone here can try to replicate your work and try to reproduce the error.

[jrkrideau]

Restart R, reload the dataset, then try:

library(tidyverse)
separate(employee, name,into=c("first_name", "last_name"), sep=' ')

[ws1832]

separate() is a function from the tidyr package, part of the tidyverse, which is why you need to call library(tidyverse) for this to work. If you can't find a function in the future, you may be able to see what package it's from using ?? before the function name (??separate in this case). If you can't find the function there, you may be able to find information online by searching for something like "R separate function".
