Names do not match (rbind)

Matches: names do not match previous names

WHAT THIS ERROR MEANS

You tried to rbind() or bind_rows() data frames that have different column names. All data frames must have matching column names.

HOW TO FIX IT

1. Check column names with names() on each data frame.

2. Rename columns to match before binding.

3. Use dplyr::bind_rows() which is more forgiving than rbind().

CODE EXAMPLES

BAD — THIS CAUSES THE ERROR
rbind(data.frame(x = 1), data.frame(y = 2))
GOOD — CORRECT APPROACH
library(dplyr)
bind_rows(data.frame(x = 1), data.frame(x = 2))
