Returns records that fit into existing by groups in a filtered source dataset

Source: R/filter_exist.R
filter_exist.Rd

Returns all records in the input dataset that belong to by groups that are present in a source dataset, after the source dataset is optionally filtered. For example, this could be used to return ADSL records for subjects that experienced a certain adverse event during the course of the study (as per records in ADAE).

Usage

filter_exist(dataset, dataset_add, by_vars, filter_add = NULL)

Arguments

dataset

Input dataset

The variables specified by the by_vars argument are expected to be in the dataset.

dataset_add

Source dataset

The source dataset, which determines the by groups returned in the input dataset, based on the groups that exist in this dataset after being subset by filter_add.

The variables specified in the by_vars and filter_add parameters are expected in this dataset.

by_vars

Grouping variables

Permitted Values: list of variables created by exprs() e.g. exprs(USUBJID, VISIT)

filter_add

Filter for the source dataset

The filter condition which will be used to subset the source dataset. Alternatively, if no filter condition is supplied, no subsetting of the source dataset will be performed.

Default: NULL (i.e. no filtering will be performed)

Value

The records in the input dataset which are contained within an existing by group in the filtered source dataset.

Details

Returns the records in dataset which match an existing by group in dataset_add, after being filtered according to filter_add. If there are no by groups that exist in both datasets, an empty dataset will be returned.
