You complicated it a bit. From poLCA manual it needs a formula cbind(V1,V2,V3)~1 where V1:V3 are names from data If you put names of your data frame to variable mena mena <- names(aktDat) then you can collect all items into a formula by f <- as.formula(paste("cbind(", paste(mena, collapse = ","), ")~1")) and poLCA(f,data) should work.
