We need to know the structure of all.df.

That could be many things. Have you looked to see what it is? Offhand I would
guess that it is a multi-element character vector.

ts takes an object-name as its first argument. A length-1 character vector,
which is probably what varRef now is, is not an R name. Perhaps get(varRef)
would return the object you seek.

I suspect a similar problem with not understanding R syntax will be setting you
up for failure here. `varDate` is a character vector since you created it with
`paste`, not an R name. R is not a macro language.

Have you read the Posting Guide? (And have you worked through "Introduction to
R"?)
