Why am I receiving a map_lgl error using dplyr for filtering my data?

Hi, I am trying to work with acs data.

I am trying to filter the data, however I am receiving an error
Error in map_lgl(.x, .p, ...) : object 'NameE' not found

Please find below the data and the repex


acsdata <- read.csv("Compiled_Project1.csv",header=T)
attach(acsdata)
colnames(acsdata) <- c("GISJOIN","Year","ZCTA5A","NAmeE","Total_Population","Median_Income","NameM",'PopM','IncomeM','City','State')
head(acsdata)
library(dplyr)
filteredacs <- select(filter(acsdata, State == 'OH'),c(Year,NameE,Total_Population,Median_Income,NameE,City,State))
filteredacs

Variable names are case sensitive so "NAmeE" is not equal to "NameE", I can't tell for sure if that is the only problem since, your code is not actually reproducible and your sample data is not on a copy/paste friendly format, please try to make a proper REPRoducible EXample (reprex).

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

Based on the code snippet you posted, it looks like there isn't a column NameE:

colnames(acsdata) <- c("GISJOIN","Year","ZCTA5A","NAmeE","Total_Population","Median_Income","NameM",'PopM','IncomeM','City','State')

You have "NAmeE" and "NameM", but, as @andresrcs mentioned, R is case-sensitive, so neither of those match NameE.
