How to use a variable in dplyr::filter?

Question

I have a variable with the same name as a column in a dataframe:

df <- data.frame(a=c(1,2,3), b=c(4,5,6))
b <- 5

I want to get the ro

Answer 1

You could use the get function to fetch the value of the variable from the environment.

df %>% filter(b == get("b")) # Note the "" around b
