Try with double "== "instead:
ifelse(val3 == "Monthly", val <- val1, val <- val2)
Single "=" is for setting arguments within a function call. If you want
to test equality, then double "==" is required.
See ?"=="

Dear R helpers
Suppose
val1 = c(10, 20, 35, 80, 12)
val2 = c(3, 8, 11, 7)
I want to select either val1 or val2 depending on value of third quantity val3.
val3 assumes either of the values "Monthly" or "Yearly".
If val3 = "Monthly", then val = val1 and if val3 = "Yearly", then val = val2.
I tried the ifelse statement as
ifelse(val3 = "Monthly", val = val1, val2)
I get following error
ifelse(val3 = "Monthly", val = val1, val2)
Error in ifelse(val3 = "Monthly", val = val1, val2) :
unused argument(s) (val3 = "Monthly", val = val1)
val
Error: object 'val' not found
Kindly guide.
Regards
Vincy
