Dear R users, I know that this question is silly (I am not a R newby) but I already wasted quite a lot of energies trying to fill in an empty data frame (with "POSIXct" "POSIXt" data type). Suppose I create mydf <- data.frame(data_POSIX=as.POSIXct(NA), value=as.numeric(NA)) day1 <- as.POSIXct("2018-02-01-00-00", format="%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M", tz="Etc/GMT-1") day2 <- as.POSIXct("2018-02-02-00-00", format="%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M", tz="Etc/GMT-1") then mydf$data_POSIX <- c(day1, day2) does not work, it gives me: "Error in `$<-.data.frame`(`*tmp*`, data_POSIX, value = c(1517439600, 1517612400 : replacement has 2 rows, data has 1" There are few basic concepts that I am missing. Why c(day1, day2) is not a vector? Why I am not able to populate my data frame? Could somebody please give me the right hints?

Hi Stefano, my guess is that you're expecting data recycling to apply but your data frame is only one row long... therefore you can't insert a 2-row vector into a 1-row vector. Recycling won't help. You should specify the number of rows that will be required in your data frame using (e.g) rep(). (here I use 10 rows as an example) mydf <- data.frame(data_POSIX=rep(as.POSIXct(NA), 10), value=as.numeric(NA)) Olivier.

1) It _is_ a vector. Why do you think it is not a vector? 2) Your data frame has one row, with an NA in the date_POSIX column. You cannot fit a vector of length 2 as a column into a data frame with only 1 row. What are you trying to do? Do you really want to end up with a 2-row data frame or a 3 row data frame?
