[R] Yext in parentheses.

[Jeff Newmiller]

I recommend cutting snippets out of your code by stopping the code at the point of interest and using dput() to pull out "data as it is" before the troublesome section and then using the reprex package to test that the snippet runs.

Either you will notice the problem on your own while taking this time, or you will end up with something we can actually try out. Your current approach fails to provide everything we might need precisely because you don't know what you need to know to solve your problem.

If you have privacy issues with the data then once you have a reprex you can make a shareable reprex by replacing the private data with generic data of the same type. Also, you should often experiment to reduce the size of your sample data to a minimum necessary to reproduce the problem, as this will often remove unnecessary confusion as well.

Remember, you are trying to learn how to solve your problems on your own anyway, so this is not wasted time even if you do end up solving it on your own.
