Thanks - Peter, Eivind, Rui
Sorry, I perhaps could not explain it properly in the first go. Trying to simplify it here with an example - Say I have two dataframes as below that are NOT equally-sized data frames (i.e., number of columns are different in each table): Table_A: Email Name Phone a...@gmail.com John Chan 0909 b...@yahoo.com Tim Ma 89089 ...... Table_B: Email Name Sex Phone a...@gmail.com John Chan M 0909 k...@hotmail.com Rosy Kim F 7779 ..... Now, I have used - merge (Table_A, Table_B, by="Email", all = FALSE)) - to find only the rows that match from these data frames - based on Email as primary key. Further, I am also interested (using "Email" as the common key) which rows from Table_A did not match with Table_B. I am not sure how to do this here.
