Programming in R using Tidyverse I have 5 separate publicly available datafiles with the same information with one datafile for each of 5 different years. I want them joined in one file so I can do growth modeling. I trimmed each to have the exact same columns. My problem is that I cannot find a unique identifier to join them. When I tried inner_join, the column names came across correctly, but there were no observations. How do I join these files? Here is a link to the datafiles I am using. I have cleaned the column names to be lowercase with no spaces.
