Renaming a variable starting with _ (ie _STATE)

Cgreen042389 · September 30, 2021, 2:24pm

I am having trouble renaming variables that start with an underscore for example data$_STATE. I am using BRFSS data and this is how it's being imported into R. When I try and rename or full_join, it doesn't recognize the underscore.

Any input would be fantastic.

Thanks in advance,

Christian

Use backticks:

data$`_STATE`
