Remove columns from dataframe where some of values are NA

Question

I have a dataframe where some of the values are NA. I would like to remove these columns.

My data.frame looks like this

    v1   v2 
1    1   NA 
2

Alternatively, select(where(~FUNCTION)) can be used:

library(dplyr)

(df <- data.frame(x = letters[1:5], y = NA, z = c(1:4, NA)))
#>   x  y  z
#> 1 a NA  1
#> 2 b NA  2
#> 3 c NA  3
#> 4 d NA  4
#> 5 e NA NA

# Remove columns where all values are NA
df %>% 
  select(where(~!all(is.na(.))))
#>   x  z
#> 1 a  1
#> 2 b  2
#> 3 c  3
#> 4 d  4
#> 5 e NA
  
# Remove columns with at least one NA  
df %>% 
  select(where(~!any(is.na(.))))
#>   x
#> 1 a
#> 2 b
#> 3 c
#> 4 d
#> 5 e
