Thank you all of your help. The error message gone. On Thursday, August 26, 2021, 04:07:59 PM PDT, Avi Gross via R-help <r-help@r-project.org> wrote: This illustrates many things but in particular, why there is a difference between saying you tried:
class(eth) And saying the function you (think you) called is documented to return a data.frame. Just typing something asking for the class would rapidly have shown it was not a data.frame and also what it was. True, having multiple packages in some order overlay each other is a bit subtle for some and I am glad quite a few people here noticed it. It may indeed make sense to more fully specify package::function notation in anything you let others use as they may indeed load more packages … From: John C Frain <fra...@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2021 3:17 PM To: Kai Yang <yangkai9...@yahoo.com> Cc: r-help@r-project.org; Avi Gross <avigr...@verizon.net> Subject: Re: [R] ggplot error of "`data` must be a data frame, or other object coercible by `fortify()`, not an S3 object with class rxlsx" officer redefines the read_xlsx command. You should have got a message to that effect when you loaded the officer package. You can use the version from the readxl package with readxl::read_xlsx() command.

Here is the code: eth <- read_xlsx("c:/temp/eth.xlsx") 2. I try to use the code to convert eth into eth2, but I got error message: > eth2 <- data.frame(eth) Error in as.data.frame.default(x[[i]], optional = TRUE, stringsAsFactors = stringsAsFactors) : cannot coerce class ‘"rxlsx"’ to a data.frame So, it seems the data.frame can not do this data convert? Do you know which statement/function can do this? thank you for your help.

As the message states, it expects that argument to be a data frame or something it can change into a data.frame. What you gave it probably is an object meant to represent an EXCEL file or something. You may need to extract a data.frame (or tibble or ...) from it before passing that to ggplot.
