I am trying to use a for loop to filter a large dataset by year. I then want to create new datasets in the global environment that I can use for further calculations.

creating list of years

years <- c("2006", "2007", "2008", "2009", "2010", "2011", "2012")

for loop

for (i in years) {
  pill_[[i]] <- tract_pills %>%
  filter(year == i)
  print(paste0("Finish ", i)
}

I can get this to work, but it doesn't create the datasets for each year. It only create the dataset for the last year.
