R data.table, select columns with no NA

I have a table of stock prices here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1S666wiCzf-8MfgugN3IZOqCiM7tNPFh9/view?usp=sharing

Some columns have NA's because the company does not exist (until later dates), or the company folded.

What I want to do is: select columns that has no NA's. I use data.table because it is faster. Here are my working codes:

example <- fread(file = "example.csv", key = "date")
example_select <- example[, 
                          lapply(.SD, 
                                 function(x) not(sum(is.na(x) > 0)))
                          ] %>%
  as.logical(.)
example[, ..example_select]

Is there better (less lines) code to do the same? Thank you!

Try:

example[,lapply(.SD, function(x) {if(anyNA(x)) {NULL} else {x}} )]

There are lots of ways you could do this. Here's how I usually do it - a data.table approach without lapply:

example[, .SD, .SDcols = colSums(is.na(example)) == 0]

An answer using tidyverse packages

library(readr)
library(dplyr)
library(purrr)

data <- read_csv("~/Downloads/example.csv")
map2_dfc(data, names(data), .f = function(x, y) { 
  column <- tibble("{y}" := x)
  if(any(is.na(column)))
    return(NULL)
  else
    return(column)
  })

Output

Using Filter :

library(data.table)
Filter(function(x) all(!is.na(x)), fread('example.csv'))
