unparsable argument

[Lindsie Arthur-Hulme]

Hello all! 

I'm having some trouble with an "unparsable argument" in some of my code. When I download the code to de-bug in R, it tells me that the little dash (see in red below) isn't meant to be there. 

But, I don't know how to fix this problem. I've included the code below but don't know if I should also provide something else. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Note: I did see that Ruben had some kind of issue with an unparsable argument, but the solution was a bit over my head.

Thanks, 

Linds

Hi Lindsie,

go to your survey sheet for the item health_sleep_qual

In the showif column, there's probably the little accent character that's giving you trouble.

Delete it, update the sheet, and you should be good.

Unparseable argument is just an all-purpose error message when you have somehow entered improper R code in some place. So, it's almost always something you can fix yourself, if you can find the source.

Best,

Ruben

You're a magician! Thanks so much Ruben. 

I swear I've been staring at this thing all day and don't know how I missed it. Yesterday I was stuck because I spelt "consent" incorrectly. 

I'm clearly not practiced at noticing the tiny details. 

Thanks again!

Perhaps it would be good to collect a few of the most common problems in the FAQ. I now made a start here.
