Sam -
   Since the error message said the argument wasn't numeric
or logical, that would be the source of your problem.  What
is the result of

class(all$Value)

If it's 'character' or 'factor', that would explain the problem.
Provide more details for a (most likely) easy solution.

note that there are absolutely no NAs in all$Value:
all(!is.na(all$Value))
