Would something like the following work for you? stateID <- c("AL","AK","AR","CA","DE","FL","GA","MN","WA","WI","WY") var1 <- c(0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,0) df <- data.frame(stateID,var1) statesWanted <- c("MN","WI") subsettedDataFrame <- df[df$stateID %in% statesWanted,] On Sun, May 30, 2010 at 9:01 PM, Peter Larson <pslars...@gmail.com> wrote: > They don't show up as NA's.
