I'm currently working with dplyr and struggling to subset variables based on specific data.

I need to subset the iris data to contain only the species virginica, and within that, they should all have a sepal length of more than 6.

I've tried the filter and select function and am getting nowhere as they want numeric values while I'm working with words.

    Doen't this work? `iris %>% filter(Species == "virginica" & Sepal.Length > 6)` – DatamineR May 04 '16 at 10:21
