Looks like you didn't put it in the first ED2: ED2[ED2[!, :Total] !=..., !] perhaps, but I dont know by heart if that works.

Consider using filter also, if nothing else then for the sake of readability. DataFrames have pretty good documentation so it can be worth it to skim it to see what is built in already.

Hello Dr,

I tested around and was able to implement:

ED3 = ED2[(ED2[!,:Total] .!= "---"),:]

The ! does not work, only the colon (:)

Thank you,

Yes -- as far as the filter method, the following can be used:

begin
test = filter(:Total => !isequal("---"), ED2)
first(test, 5)
end
