My mistake, I did not change the sort order back to the original order. If you do not like the additional variables they can be dropped using select() or dat2[,-c(RN, MinByCodeQ)] syntax.

library(dplyr)
library(magrittr)
dat2<-read.table(text="Code Y M D Q N O
41003 81 1 19 0.16 7.17 2.5
41003 77 9 22 0.197 6.8 2.2
41003 79 7 28 0.21 4.7 6.2
41005 79 8 17 0.21 5.5 7.2
41005 80 10 30 0.21 6.84 2.6
41005 80 12 20 0.21 6.84 2.4
41005 79 6 14 0.217 5.61 3.55
41009 79 2 21 0.218 5.56 4.04
41009 79 5 27 0.218 6.4 3.12
41009 80 11 29 0.22 6.84 2.8
41009 78 5 28 0.232 6 3.2
41009 81 8 20 0.233 6.39 1.6
41009 79 9 30 0.24 5.6 7.5
41017 79 10 20 0.24 5.3 7.1
41017 80 7 30 0.24 6.73 2.6", header=TRUE)
dat2$RN <- rownames(dat2)
dat2 <- dat2 %>%
  group_by(Code) %>%
  mutate(
    MinByCodeQ = min(Q, na.rm = T),
  ) %>%
  arrange(Code)
dat2<-filter(dat2,Q==MinByCodeQ)
dat2<-arrange(dat2,as.numeric(RN))

I missed where you explained how to choose a minimum value if there are several values within a group that are equal to the minimum value. Here is a dplyr code that returns eight values because there are ties for minimum values in Q.

library(dplyr)
library(magrittr)
dat2<-read.table(text="Code Y M D Q N O
41003 81 1 19 0.16 7.17 2.5
41003 77 9 22 0.197 6.8 2.2
41003 79 7 28 0.21 4.7 6.2
41005 79 8 17 0.21 5.5 7.2
41005 80 10 30 0.21 6.84 2.6
41005 80 12 20 0.21 6.84 2.4
41005 79 6 14 0.217 5.61 3.55
41009 79 2 21 0.218 5.56 4.04
41009 79 5 27 0.218 6.4 3.12
41009 80 11 29 0.22 6.84 2.8
41009 78 5 28 0.232 6 3.2
41009 81 8 20 0.233 6.39 1.6
41009 79 9 30 0.24 5.6 7.5
41017 79 10 20 0.24 5.3 7.1
41017 80 7 30 0.24 6.73 2.6", header=TRUE)
dat2 <- dat2 %>%
  group_by(Code) %>%
  mutate(
    MinByCodeQ = min(Q, na.rm = T),
  ) %>%
  arrange(Code)
dat2<-filter(dat2,Q==MinByCodeQ)

Dear all,
Many thanks for your suggested methods and codes, but unfortunately they did not give the desired results.
All the codes you have provided are correct but they did not represent the whole row which is related to the minimum of "Q".
The code must result in 4 rows, with the minimum value of "Q" and other column values, as below:

       Code

              Y

              M

               D

           Q

            N

             O

41003

81

0.16

7.17

0.218

41017 79 10 20 0.24 5.3 7.1
