Problem
While performing a Left Join
, the following error occurred:
Error in dplyr::left_join(x = x, y = y, by = by, copy = copy, suffix = suffix, :
Join columns in `y` must be present in the data.
✖ Problem with `Type`.
This error indicates that the specified join column, Type
, does not exist in the right-hand data frame (y
). dplyr::left_join()
requires that all join columns explicitly exist in both data frames. If the column is missing in y
, the function fails with this message.
Workaround
To resolve this issue:
-
Check for case sensitivity or typographical errors. Column names in R are case-sensitive, so
Type
andtype
would be treated as different. -
Ensure the join column exists in the right-hand data frame (
y
):
