Error – replacement has [x] rows, data has [y]

by

The answer by @akrun certainly does the trick. For future googlers who want to understand why, here is an explanation…

The new variable needs to be created first.

The variable “valueBin” needs to be already in the df in order for the conditional assignment to work. Essentially, the syntax of the code is correct. Just add one line in front of the code chuck to create this name —

df$newVariableName <- NA

Then you continue with whatever conditional assignment rules you have, like

df$newVariableName[which(df$oldVariableName<=250)] <- "<=250"

I blame whoever wrote that package’s error message… The debugging was made especially confusing by that error message. It is irrelevant information that you have two arrays in the df with different lengths. No. Simply create the new column first.
