I have a a list of 700+ fips codes that I'm trying to subset into a smaller dataset. I know I could just list them all out like this :

data <- data[(data$fips == 65409, 84840, etc....) ,]

But this is unrealistic as I have 700+ fips codes to subset. I'm looking for a way to subset using a list of fips codes I get from : 

fips <- unique(DustBowlData_Pre$fips)   #Get all fips codes

Edit : I tried to clarify further, but it's hard to submit an example because of the sheer number.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

  • Please add expected output. It is not clear what you trying to do. – zx8754 Dec 02 '14 at 08:50

This is what worked.

prism.dd <- prism.d[(prism.d$fips %in% fips) ,]
