Yes, I tried to create a dataframe and merge it with the shortened
dataframe. The resulting dataframe goes with the short one and truncates
the complete date column, so it does not work.

Hi R users,

I have a dataframe, where there is a column 'time' represents time series
but is not complete. How to expand the dataframe so this column will
become
complete, where other columns with the newly added rows have NA values?
Thanks.

df
A     B     C     time
10    5     3.3 1990-01-01
11    5      4     1990-02-07
12    4     3      1990-02-14
...

Make a dataframe with a 'time' column using seq.Date and merge that
dataframe with your df dataframe.

Really .... isn't it time you learned how to send plain text. You've
posted many questions on Rhelp.  It's really not that difficult on gmail. I
also have a gmail account and have had no difficulty finding instructions
on how to do it.

Don't just say you tried to do the merge and it doesn't work. At a minimum show us the ACTUAL code you used and give us any error messages you got or show us a portion of the results and explain why it is not what you expected. If possible, give us a small amount of data using dput() so that we can "play along at home" (i.e. give us a reproducible example).
