Hi Dontrece, It looks like you do not have an object "Final" in your active session. Could you please show us how you read your data, e.g., what commands you used and what's the result of ls()?
As Sarah Goslee mentioned in an earlier post, you probably used read.table() or read.csv() but you haven't told us (yet).
