I have defined four functions. I have executed the code for each and all four appear in the global environment when I call ls(). The first two are used inside the third and this works as expected. However, when I call the third function from the fourth function I get an error message telling me that curent_month doesn't exist. (I eliminated all code from the fourth function as the failure occurs at the first statement, so the rest is not relevant.) I have always understood that any object defined in the global environment is available to any sub-environment (i.e., inside a function). Can anyone point me in the right direction?
## Function returns the most recent month having billing revenues
current_month_POSIX <- function(x){
## Fetch current month name for use in label below
current_month_POSIX <- x %>%
filter(Year == 2020) %>%
filter(!is.na(Billing)) %>%
select(Month) %>%
unique()%>%
arrange() %>%
tail(1) %>%
unlist() %>%
as_datetime()
return(current_month_POSIX)
}
current_month_name <- function(x){
current_month_name <- x %>%
filter(Year == 2020) %>%
filter(!is.na(Billing)) %>%
select(Month, month_name) %>%
unique()%>%
arrange() %>%
tail(1) %>%
select(month_name) %>%
substr(.,1,3)
return(current_month_name)
}
curent_month <- function(x){
POSIX <- current_month_POSIX(x)
name <- current_month_name(x)
return(list("current_month_name" = name, "current_month_POSIX" = POSIX))
}
### Function to reduce source data to clustered bar chart table
clustered_bar_data <- function(x){
latest_month <- current_month(x)
}
current_month
does not exist! You named your function curent_month
