Filtering Data with R: Choosing Between `filter()`, `subset()`, and `dplyr`
To filter the data and keep only rows where Brand is ‘5’, we can use the following R code: df <- df %>% filter(Brand == "5") Or, if you want to achieve the same result using a subset function: df_sub <- subset(df, Brand == "5") Here’s an example of how you could combine these steps into a single executable code block: # sample data df <- structure(list(Week = 7:17, Category = c("2", "2", "2", "2", "2", "2", "2", "2", "2", "2", "2"), Brand = c("3", "3", "3", "3", "3", "3", "4", "4", "4", "5", "5"), Display = c(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0), Sales = c(0, 0, 0, 0, 13.
