Why am I geting error: Column `BrLCI` must be length 46 (the group size) or one, not 0

[Jonw]

Hello, I have written a long piece of code to get data and create confidence intervals using BinomCI. I'm not sure you want to see all that. I am attempting to create 2 additional columns for grouped indicators showing the confidence limits of a comparator but I get an error:

df <- df %>%

• group_by(IndicatorNm) %>%
• mutate(BrLCI = lwr.ci[geotype == "CCG"]) %>%
• mutate(BrUCI = upr.ci[geotype == "CCG"])
  Error: Column BrLCI must be length 46 (the group size) or one, not 0

I have tried ungrouping as solutions suggest to do that but the error just changes to:
Error: Column BrLCI must be length 986 (the number of rows) or one, not 20

I have 20 groups (indicators).

The annoying thing is I have written another script to achieve the same ends and it works ok.
Any help gratefully received
Thanks

Hi, welcome!

We don't really have enough info to help you out. Could you ask this with a minimal REPRoducible EXample (reprex)? A reprex makes it much easier for others to understand your issue and figure out how to help.

If you've never heard of a reprex before, you might want to start by reading this FAQ:

FAQ: How to do a minimal reproducible example ( reprex ) for beginners

A minimal reproducible example consists of the following items: A minimal dataset, necessary to reproduce the issue The minimal runnable code necessary to reproduce the issue, which can be run on the given dataset, and including the necessary information on the used packages. Let's quickly go over each one of these with examples: Minimal Dataset (Sample Data) You need to provide a data frame that is small enough to be (reasonably) pasted on a post, but big enough to reproduce your issue. Let's say, as an example, that you are working with the iris data frame head(iris) #> Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species #> 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.…
