[acs-r] Trick to get 2016 data failing for C16001

[Jon Zadra]

HI,

I’ve been using the lookup 2015 then fetch 2016 trick without issue for many tables, however today I ran into an issue with table C16001 where it can’t find it in the 2016 lookup:

a <- acs.lookup(table.number = "C16001", endyear = 2015, span = 5)
Warning message: In acs.lookup(table.number = "C16001", endyear = 2015, span = 5) : Sorry, no tables/keyword meets your search. Suggestions: try with 'case.sensitive=F', remove search terms, change 'keyword' to 'table.name' in search (or vice-versa

I’m not sure if this is because they didn’t have C16001 in 2015 and it’s a new addition for 2016, or whether they don’t have the C version via the API (the B version exists).

I really need the C version, as the B version has a lot of suppression due to about 20 more categories.  Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

Jon
