How do I convince fct_infreq I'm working with a numerical vector?

I have put a great deal of effort into creating a new variable, andel, which i want to visualize on order of frequency using ggplot2.

I write:

ggplot(df,aes())+geom_col(mapping=aes(x=NYA_REGION, y=fct_infreq(andel)))

I get an error message claiming that:

Error: `f` must be a factor (or character vector or numeric vector).

I've used every diagnostic tool as my disposal and "andel" seems to be a numerical vector. What exacly is the problem and how do I solve it?

Repex:

structure(list(NYA_REGION = structure(2:11, .Label = c("UTANFÖR SVERIGE", 
"ÖVRIGA LANDET", "STORGÖTEBORG", "oklart", "SÖDRA BOHUSLÄN", 
"VÄSTERGÖTLAND", "VÄNERSBORG", "UDDEVALLA", "TROLLHÄTTAN", "DALSLAND", 
"NORRA BOHUSLÄN"), class = c("ordered", "factor")), totstatus_tri = structure(c(1L, 
1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L), .Label = c("pågående studier", 
"tidigt avbrott eller återbud", "sent avbrott"), class = c("ordered", 
"factor")), ongoing = c(10L, 107L, 128L, 32L, 36L, 14L, 41L, 
63L, 8L, 15L), antal = c(10L, 107L, 128L, 32L, 36L, 14L, 41L, 
63L, 8L, 15L), andel = c(0.144927536231884, 0.36518771331058,

Per the documentation fct_infreq() works on factors, not numerics. That's okay though, you can just convert with as.factor

ggplot(df, aes()) + 
  geom_col(aes(x = NYA_REGION, y = fct_infreq(as.factor(andel))))

That said, in your example there's only one occurrence of each value of andel

Also, when I run your example I get a slightly different error:

Error: f must be a factor (or character vector).
