Hello Gregory,

You'll probably receive many good solutions. Does this do what you want?

In[14]:= mylst={{1,2,3},{8,NA,20},{-7,9,NA},{NA,3,5}};

In[15]:= Cases[mylst,{___,PatternSequence[NA],___}]

Out[15]= {{8,NA,20},{-7,9,NA},{NA,3,5}}

Hello everyone,

Suppose I have the list

        X = {{1, 2, 3}, {8, NA, 20}, {-7, 9, NA}},

where NA is a string, although it need not be.  How can I use Select
to pull out all lists in X where NA appears in any element?  In this
example, I want to pull out the second and third list.

                Regards,

                        Gregory
