The filter_if_any() function is used to subset a data frame, retaining all
rows that satisfy at least one of your conditions.
To be retained, the row must produce a value of TRUE for
one of the conditions. Note that when a condition evaluates to NA the
row will be dropped, (hence this function) unlike base subsetting with [.
Arguments
- .data
A data frame
- ...
<
data-masking> Expressions that return a logical value, and are defined in terms of the variables in.data. If multiple expressions are included, they are combined with the|operator. Only rows for which one of the conditions evaluate toTRUEare kept.- .by
See dplyr::dplyr_by.
- .keep_new_var
If
TRUE, will remove newly created variables.
Value
An object of the same type as .data.
The output has the following properties:
Rows are a subset of the input, but appear in the same order.
Columns are not modified (if
.keep_new_var = FALSE.Data frame attributes are preserved.
Details
The reason to be of this function is to simplify a call like
# with dplyr::filter
dat |> dplyr::filter(vs == 1 | is.na(vs))
data |>
dplyr::mutate(cond1 = vs == 1, cond2 = is.na(vs)) |>
dplyr::filter(dplyr::if_any(starts_with("cond")))
dat |> filter_if_any(vs == 1, is.na(vs))Basically, this is just a shortcut to
mutate(.data, new_lgl_vars) + filter(if_any(new_lgl_vars)) + select(-new_lgl_vars).
It allows mutate_like syntax in filter(if_any(...)).
Caution: still doesn't work with dplyr::across(), use the regular
filter(if_any()) syntax.
