It depends what you mean by 'ignore'. Some functions have an na.rm argument which throws out NAs before computing the statistic.

if the vector 'x' has NAs, then

x <- x[!is.na(x)]

may be what you're looking for. This removes NAs from x and reassigns the value to x.

Hi,

I am extracting data from a table where the rows have different column lengths,
and empty columns have NA in them. Whenever I extract a row with some empty
columns, the resulting vector carries all the NAs. Is there a way to ignore the
empty columns?

Thanks,
