I want to count how many times each name has appeared in that column. I tried a count() but it won't work for character type variables. How can I do this?

I want to get these counts so I can then make a bar graph from this info.

This information is being read into R from an Excel file.

Thank you, I am new to R.

Take a look at `?table` – markus May 14 '21 at 14:38

Count works fine with character variabeles, `library(dplyr); count(your_data, name_column)` – Gregor Thomas May 14 '21 at 14:39
