10.10 Filter Rows Having Missing Values

20201202 To select the rows from a dataset which have missing values in any of the columns across the dataset we stats::filter() dplyr::across() tidyr::everything() that base::is.na() and reduce it within the stats::filter() using the or operator. In the example we randomly sample a few rows and columns to show the result.

ds %>%
  filter(across(everything(), is.na) %>% reduce(`|`)) %>%
  sample_frac() %>%
  select(date, location, sample(3:length(vars), 4))
