[R] R Error: wrong result size (...), expected ... or 1”

[Muhuri, Pradip (SAMHSA/CBHSQ)]

Hello,

I have written a user-defined function (myFunc below) with ten arguments. When calling the function, I get the following message: “Error: wrong result size (816841), expected 52939 or 1”.
myFunc involves a data frame (named xanloid_set), which has 816841 rows.  R is correct to say that I was expecting only 52939 rows because of the filter() function.

These results are from the following code outside myFunc:
addmargins(table(xanloid_set$cohort_type))

NMPR_Cohort  OID_Cohort      Others         Sum
      52939      158192      605710      816841


How would I resolve the issue: error message from the muFunc?  Any hints would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Pradip Muhuri
