I think the problem may lie in your understanding of what "==" does with NA and/or what "[]" does with NA. > x <- c(NA, "Yes") > x == "Yes" [1] NA TRUE Since you say you DON'T want the rows with "Yes", you just want x[is.na(x)] or in your case t11 <- t1[is.na(t1$sex_chromosome_aneuploidy_f22019_0_0),] or if there could be other values than "Yes" that you want to keep, is.definitely <- function (x, y) { !is.na(x) & !is.na(y) & x == y } t11 <- t1[!is.definitely(t1$sex_chromosome_aneuploidy_f22019_0_0, "Yes"),]
