Filter across multiple variables.
multi_filt(data, vars, filts)data
variables
filters
a filtered data.frame or tibble.
NOTE: this function currently only supports character and factor level
filtering by using the dplyr::filter(<var> %in% c(<filts>)) syntax. For numeric
and date level filtering will need to incorporate expressions like <= 5 as
filt arguments.
