R ggplot2: stat_count() must not be used with a y aesthetic error in Bar graph

Question

I am getting this error while plotting a bar graph and I am not able to get rid of it, I have tried both qplot and ggplot but still the same error.

Following is my c

Answer 1

First off, your code is a bit off. aes() is an argument in ggplot(), you don't use ggplot(...) + aes(...) + layers

Second, from the help file ?geom_bar:

By default, geom_bar uses stat="count" which makes the height of the bar proportion to the number of cases in each group (or if the weight aethetic is supplied, the sum of the weights). If you want the heights of the bars to represent values in the data, use stat="identity" and map a variable to the y aesthetic.

You want the second case, where the height of the bar is equal to the conversion_rate So what you want is...

data_country <- data.frame(country = c("China", "Germany", "UK", "US"), 
            conversion_rate = c(0.001331558,0.062428188, 0.052612025, 0.037800687))
ggplot(data_country, aes(x=country,y = conversion_rate)) +geom_bar(stat = "identity")

Result:
