HI, In addition to merge(), you can also use: join() library(plyr) join(df1,df2,type="inner")

DV is the column with values we are interested in. Then another data frame df2 with values as follows data.frame(a=c(2,2,3,4,5),b=c(5,10,1,5,20))->df2 Now I want to a subset of df1 that match df2 at the both columns a and b. Any idea? Thanks.
