Is it possible to pull more than one column when using the pull command in R? How? When I try adding a second column (X2), R thinks I'm adding a new argument. See below.
data %>% pull(., X1, X2)

You cannot `pull` two columns. Can you add an example and show what you want to do? – Ronak Shah Sep 10 '20 at 15:16

1you can only `pull` a single column. `pull` is similar to `$`. Please look at `select` – Onyambu Sep 10 '20 at 15:16

you can use `select` instead: `mtcars %>% select(3:5) %>% as.data.frame()` – AlexB Sep 10 '20 at 15:18

What do you want as output? A list or a data.frame with only these two columns? – s_baldur Sep 10 '20 at 15:18

Pull outputs vectors, use select() to keep working with data.frame:
data %>% select(X1, X2)
Or in base R syntax:
data[c("X1", "X2")]
