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
Typeandtypewould be treated as different. -
Ensure the join column exists in the right-hand data frame (
y):
