This tutorial illustrates how to add new rows in case a date is missing in the R programming language.

Example Data

my_df <- data.frame(time = as.Date(c("2021-05-10",  # Create example data
                                     "2021-05-13",
                                     "2021-05-15")),
                    x1 = 1:3,
                    x2 = letters[1:3])
my_df                                               # Print example data
#         time x1 x2
# 1 2021-05-10  1  a
# 2 2021-05-13  2  b
# 3 2021-05-15  3  c

library("padr")
pad(my_df)                                          # Using pad() function
#         time x1   x2
# 1 2021-05-10  1    a
