Omit rows containing specific column of NA

Question

I want to know how to omit NA values in a data frame  but only in some columns I am interested in   For example   DF  lt - data frame x   c 1  2  3   y   c 0  10  NA   z c NA  33  22     but I only want to omit the data where y is NA  therefore the result should be    x  y  z 1 1  0 NA 2 2 10 33   na omit seems delete all rows contain any NA   Can somebody help me out of this simple question   But if now I change the question like   DF  lt - data frame x   c 1  2  3 NA   y   c 1 0  10  NA   z c 43 NA  33  NA     If I want to omit only x na or z na  where can I put the   in function

You could use the complete cases function and put it into a function thusly   DF  lt - data frame x   c 1  2  3   y   c 0  10  NA   z c NA  33  22    completeFun  lt - function data  desiredCols      completeVec  lt - complete cases data   desiredCols     return data completeVec        completeFun DF   y       x  y  z   1 1  0 NA   2 2 10 33  completeFun DF  c  y    z        x  y  z   2 2 10 33   EDIT  Only return rows with no NAs  If you want to eliminate all rows with at least one NA in any column  just use the complete cases function straight up   DF complete cases DF         x  y  z   2 2 10 33   Or if completeFun is already ingrained in your workflow     completeFun DF  names DF

Use  subset   DF  lt - data frame x   c 1  2  3   y   c 0  10  NA   z c NA  33  22   subset DF   is na y

Just try this  DF   gt   t   gt   na omit   gt   t  It transposes the data frame and omits null rows which were  columns  before transposition and then you transpose it back
