Error: Invalid input: date_trans works with objects of class Date only // Not sure how to fix

Question

I keep getting the following error and can't figure out what's going wrong. Please helps!

Error: Invalid input: date_trans works with objects of class Date only

My code is below.

#Problem 3b: Plot a line graph of the average monthly consumption in this population, with months on the x-axis running from January to December (1-12) and the consumption on the y axis.

rm(list=ls())
library(tidyverse)

# Read the discom_data.csv
discom_linegraph=read_csv("/Users/morgandenlow/Desktop/data_files/discom_data.csv")

#Aggregate consumption for each household annually for each year
electricity.utility.month = discom_linegraph %>% group_by(month) %>% summarise(monthly_consumption = mean(unitsconsumed,na.rm=TRUE))

electricity.utility.month$month = as.factor(electricity.utility.month$month)

data <- data.frame(electricity.utility.month$month)

#new date variable
electricity.utility.month$month <- as.Date(paste(electricity.utility.month$month, 1, sep="-"), format="%Y-%W-%w")


ggplot(data, aes(x = electricity.utility.month$month, y = electricity.utility.month$unitsconsumed)) 
+geom_line(color = "blue4") 
+ scale_x_date(date_breaks = "1 month", date_labels = "%b\n%Y") 
+scale_y_continuous(labels = NULL, limits = c(0, 100)) 
+labs(x = "Month", y = "Average consumption (kWh)",title = "Average consumption by month") 
+theme_bw() 
+theme(panel.grid.minor = element_blank(),panel.grid.major.x = element_blank(),plot.title = element_text(size = 14, face = "bold", hjust = 0.5))

Answer 1

I don't have the data but you can try, don't convert month to factor.

electricity.utility.month$month = as.factor(electricity.utility.month$month)

skip this line.
