Error return when running alpha command in r

Question

I am trying to complete a cronbach alpha analysis on my dataframe, but am getting an odd error. My dataset is set up like:

DF

Var1   Var2   Var3   Var4
 A      12     14     A
 C      14     13     D

etc-----

I am using the command: alpha(DF[,c(2:3)] and am getting the following error:

Error: Unknown colour name: c(12, 14,....14, 13

I am assuming the package I need is being blocked by another. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had the same error while just using the command: alpha(myitems). I detached (unclicked) ggplot2 from my packages and that seemed to solve it.

I think I figured it out. I used the following command:

psych::alpha(DF[,c(2:3)]

Any other suggestions and/or feedback is welcome!
