Missing Data

Missing data in columns

The purpose of this post is to show an easy way to find data frame columns which have all missing data. We live in a world of big data. Often our data frames have several hundred if not thousands of variables. Not all variables are useful in that they may not contain any actual values. This is often the case with data exported from various business software. I like to get a list of these columns as part of the data processing step in a research project.
