Fixing Missing Values in R Data with the `summarise` Function
The data in the Q5 column contains non-numeric values, which causes an error when trying to calculate the mean. To fix this, we can use the summarise function with the na.rm = TRUE argument to ignore missing values during calculations. Here is the modified code: Einkommen_Strat2021 <- Deskriptive_Statistik %>% select(Q5, StrategischeWahl2021) %>% ungroup %>% group_by(StrategischeWahl2021) %>% summarise( Q5 = mean(as.numeric(Q5), na.rm = TRUE) ) Einkommen_Strat2021 # A tibble: 2 × 2 StrategischeWahl2021 Q5 <chr> <dbl> 1 0 2229.
