How to subset entire data.frame

General
1

If my data.frame contains only numeric variables and I want to subset the entire data.frame on a condition (more than 0.5, for example) how do I do that in a tidy way?

Do you want to remove entire rows if any element in the row fails the filter condition or do you want to remove only the specific data points that fail the filter condition? In the latter case, you will probably end up with columns of different lengths, which is not allowed in a data frame.

That is true, I think it's better to replace values with NAs, instead of filtering.

for mpg dataset , where there are numeric fields; if values are less than 2 make them NA instead.

library(dplyr)
mutate(mpg, across(where(is.numeric),
                  ~ifelse(.<2,NA,.)))
