[R] Rows not common in dataframes

[arun]

Hi,

Try this:

set.seed(1)
 Dataframe_A<-data.frame(x=sample(1:10,5,replace=TRUE),y=rnorm(5,15))
 set.seed(1)
 Dataframe_B<-data.frame(x=sample(3:15,6,replace=TRUE),z=rnorm(6,10))
 Dataframe_A[!Dataframe_A[[1]] %in% Dataframe_B[[1]],] # Milan's code had ...B[[2]]
#or
subset(Dataframe_A,!x%in%Dataframe_B[,1])
#  x        y
#1 3 16.27243
#2 4 15.41464
#5 3 14.70528

So you just want to drop some rows from A? In that case, do:
Dataframe_A <- Dataframe_A[!Dataframe_A[[1]] %in% Dataframe_B[[2]],]

No need for merge, as all rows you need are already in A.


My two cents
