I made this code, and checked it and checked it, and I can't imagine why it gives me an error.

Code:

as.POSIXct(x = "2010-03-14 02:00:00", format ="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")

Error:

> as.POSIXct("2010-03-14 02:00:00", format = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
[1] NA

I tried the help for the package. I double-checked all the format flags. I tried changing the date and the error went away.

Did a developer die or something on 3/14/2010?

most likely daylight savings time in your locale. – Ben Bolker Jan 08 '18 at 16:37
It has something to do with daylight saving time, google "2010 daylight saving time" – user3640617 Jan 08 '18 at 16:37
`as.POSIXct("2010-03-14 02:00:00", format = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S") [1] "2010-03-14 02:00:00 CET"` works for me, so defenitively problem on your local time – denis Jan 08 '18 at 16:47
