What is an “Object Not Found” Error?

The “Object Not Found” error pops up when we try to use a variable, function, or dataset that R cannot find. It’s like looking for our keys in the wrong pocket—it’s there somewhere, but we just can’t find it.

The “Object Not Found” error is a common stumbling block for many R Programming Language users, especially beginners. It occurs when R cannot locate the object we’re trying to reference in our code. While it can create issues, resolving this error is often straightforward with a few simple strategies.
