Issues with summation in ggplot2 using geom_bar

Question

I am having a hard time graphing with R. I want my bar graph to aggregate the deal_count column, but it does not appear to be doing that. Not quite sure what I am missing here. The deal_count values are 'integer'. I have attempted to sum the column with different classes but no luck.

Also just running this

sum(funded.agvc$deal_count)

Does not yield the proper sum.....

ggplot(data=funded.agvc, aes(moved_date,deal_count)) + 
   geom_bar(colour='black', fill="#33CC00", alpha=.5, 
      size=0, width=.7,stat='identity') + xlab("Deal Funded Date") + 
   ylab("Funded Deal Count") + 
   opts(title="Deals funded since January 2011") + 
   facet_grid(grouptype~fundingstage, scales='free_y') + 
   opts(axis.text.x =theme_text(angle=45, size=5))

Here's the head

head(funded.agvc)

Answer 1

This works for me if I change stat='identity' to stat='sum' (the plot is a little silly because I only used the head of the data as posted above). I get warnings about opt vs theme and theme_text vs element_text because I am using a more recent version of ggplot2 ...

ggplot(data=funded.agvc, aes(moved_date,deal_count)) + 
   geom_bar(colour='black', fill="#33CC00", alpha=.5, 
      size=0, width=.7,stat='sum') + xlab("Deal Funded Date") + 
   ylab("Funded Deal Count") + 
   opts(title="Deals funded since January 2011") + 
   facet_grid(grouptype~fundingstage, scales='free_y') + 
   opts(axis.text.x =theme_text(angle=45, size=5))
