Answer 1

Another option in base R Using duplicated

dx[dx$ID %in% dx$ID[duplicated(dx$ID)],]

#      ID Cat1    Cat2  Cat3 Cat4
# 1 A0001  358 11.2500 37428    0
# 2 A0001  279 14.6875 38605    0
# 5 A0020  367  8.8750 37797    0
# 6 A0020  339  9.6250 39324    0

data.table using duplicated

using duplicated and fromLast version you get :

library(data.table)
setkey(setDT(dx),ID) # or with data.table 1.9.5+: setDT(dx,key="ID")
dx[duplicated(dx) |duplicated(dx,fromLast=T)]

#       ID Cat1    Cat2  Cat3 Cat4
# 1: A0001  358 11.2500 37428    0
# 2: A0001  279 14.6875 38605    0
# 3: A0020  367  8.8750 37797    0
# 4: A0020  339  9.6250 39324    0

This can be applied to base R also but I prefer data.table here for syntax sugar.
