Missing Values

I am using bootstrap and cannot figure how to tell R to ignore missing values
(NA)

I tried this syntax and it did not work.  The name of the file is banks the
column two.

bootmean(banks$two,na.rm = True, conf = 90,nrep = 1000)

Don't give it any. Instead of banks$two, use na.omit(banks$two).

You haven't said where you got the function bootmean() and you have not provided a reproducible example, so I can't do any testing.  Jeff's solution may work for you.  However, in your call to bootmean you have na.rm=True.  R is case sensitive.  True is not equal to TRUE.  Try changing your code to 

bootmean(banks$two, na.rm = TRUE, conf = 90,nrep = 1000)


Hope this is helpful,
