Hi, Could you upload some sample data in dput form? Something like dput(head(Scratch, n=13)) will give us some real data to examine. Just copy and paste the output of dput(head(Scratch, n=13))into the email. This is the best way to ensure that R-help denizens are getting the data in the exact format that you have.

Thanks for all. Here is output from dput. I used a different dataset
containing categorical variables since the previous one is on a different
computer.
In the following dataset, my interest is in getting frequencies and
barplots for the two variables: Training and Dance, with value labels
displayed.
thanks again - cY
========dput(head(CatsDogs, n = 10))
structure(
list(
Animal = structure(
c(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
0),
label = "Animal",
labels = c(Cat = 0, Dog = 1),
class = "haven_labelled"
),
Training = structure(
c(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0),
label = "Type of Training",
labels = c(`Food as Reward` = 0,
`Affection as Reward` = 1),
class = "haven_labelled"
),
Dance = structure(
c(1,
1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1),
