keep only one row per grouped column based on column value










0















Suppose I have a data.frame in R



User Hardware
a mac
a tablet
a laptop
b laptop
b tablet
c tablet
c mac


If a user has a mac, I want to keep only the mac row, and if a user does not have a mac keep all of the rows.



My desired output



User Hardware
a mac
b laptop
b tablet
c mac


I have been searching and trying, but unable to find a solution.

          This removes from df the non-mac rows of users which have macs.



          df = read.table(text="User hardware
          a mac
          a tablet
          a laptop
          b laptop
          b tablet
          c tablet
          c mac", header = TRUE)

          mac_users = as.character(unique(df$User[df$hardware == "mac"]))
          df = df[!((df$User %in% mac_users) & (df$hardware != "mac")),]
