Create a dataframe from some rows of a already existing dataframe in R-CodePudding

I need to create a new dataframe from the data of 4 different countries of this already existing dataframe:

Country        Happiness.Score      GDP         year

Belgium        6.937                1.30782     2015

OBS.: This dataframe above is just an example, the original dataframe has way more countries and which one has data from the following years: 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022

CodePudding user response：

Something like

selected_countries <- c("Iceland", "Norway", "Spain", "Nigeria")
new_dd <- dd[dd$Country %in% selected_countries, ]

new_dd <- subset(dd, Country %in% selected_countries)

library(dplyr)
new_dd <- dd %>% filter(Country %in% selected_countries)
