valueBox function not found

[Carlos1]

Hello all,

I am trying to add value boxes into my dashboard. I receive this error

"Error in valueBox() : could not find function "valueBox" Calls: ...
I have the library flexdashboard installed which should contain this function.

Any help?

thank you very much

Did you already called a library(flexdashboard) in your document ?
A reprex with code could help

(FAQ: What's a reproducible example (`reprex`) and how do I do one?)

Libraries should be installed then loaded when you need them.

Otherwise, you can asked only for the funciton using flexdashboard::valueBox()

Now I did call the library and the problem solved. I am still learning and I know this question may have sound a little amateur. Thanks a lot for your response!!!!

FAQ: How do I mark a solution?

If your question has been answered, don't forget to mark the solution! How do I mark a solution? Find the reply you want to mark as the solution and look for the row of small gray icons at the bottom of that reply. Click the one that looks like a box with a checkmark in it: [image] Hovering over the mark solution button shows the label, "Select if this reply solves the problem". If you don't see the mark solution button, try clicking the three dots button ( ••• ) to expand the full set of options. When a solution is chosen, the icon turns green and the hover label changes to: "Unselect if this reply no longer solves the problem". Success! [solution_reply_author] :information_s…
