I am wanting some help with inputting a value into a filter line. The variable in the raw dataset changes it's name each year to the corresponding year and I don't want to replace it in all the code locations it comes up. Is there a way to paste in a value into a filter?
year <- 2024
all_people_31DEC_CurrentYr <- paste0("all_people_31DEC",year-1,"_filter") ###this results in all_people_31DEC2023_filter
CleanData <- RawData %>% filter(all_people_31DEC_CurrentYr == "1")
But I get zero observations and when I do the same thing with
CleanData <- RawData %>% filter(all_people_31DEC2023_filter== "1") I get 6,000 values.
