Dear all,
I would like to subset a dataframe using multiple conditions.
So if I have two columns 1 and 2, I would like to EXCLUDE all rows in which
the value of column 1 is "a" AND the value of column 2 is "b".
I tried data[(data$column1 != "a" & data$column2 != "b"),] but that deletes
me every row in which either 1 is "a" or 2 is "b".

Close: you have the negation in the wrong place:

Didn't see it, forget my previous mail, it has the same error.

fakedata <- data.frame(x1 = sample(letters[1:3], 10, replace=TRUE), x2 =

    x1 x2
1   c  c
2   a  b

7   a  b
8   c  c
9   b  a
10  c  a
subset(fakedata, !(x1 == "a" & x2 == "b"))
