I am just trying to plot a small 27 point dataset with X-axis as Date (CommonDate) in date R format, and y-axis as a continuous variable.
Despite having the date variable in Date format, and even after commenting out the part where scale_x_date() is being utilized, I am getting this error. I have tried multiple ways of debugging it based on some of the answers to this particular error, but to no avail.
Sample dataset: I have sample a 12 point dataset out of the 27 point one
