Details

To be used within dplyr::filter(). The function returns a logical vector with TRUE resulting from values that are not equal to the val argument. Also protects from NA values.

Used within verbs such as tidyselect::all_of() this can work effectively across all columns in a data frame. See examples

Examples

data <- data.frame("a" = sample(c("Delete", "Keep",NA),size = 10,replace = TRUE))

  dplyr::filter(dplyr::if_all(everything(), remove_deletions))
#>      a
#> 1 Keep
#> 2 <NA>
#> 3 <NA>
