Understanding the Difference Between Printing Data in R with `dplyr` and Without it
The problem lies in how the data are printed. To demonstrate this, try adding 1 to the variable created by POSIXct: timesdf <- structure(list(DateTime = c("2021-02-20 00:00:00", "2021-02-20 00:00:00", "2021-02-20 00:00:00", "2021-02-20 00:00:00", "2021-02-20 00:00:00", "2021-02-20 00:00:00", "2021-02-20 00:00:00", "2021-02-20 00:00:00", "2021-02-20 00:00:00", "2021-02-20 00:00:00", "2021-02-20 00:00:00", "2021-02-20 00:00:00", "2021-02-20 00:00:00", "2021-02-20 00:00:00", "2021-02-20 00:00:00")), row.names = c(NA, 15L), class = "data.frame") library(dplyr) #&gt; #&gt; Attaching package: 'dplyr' #&gt; The following objects are masked from 'package:stats': #&gt; #&gt; filter, lag #&gt; The following objects are masked from 'package:base': #&gt; #&gt; intersect, setdiff, setequal, union timesdf <- timesdf |&gt; mutate(times = as.
