Many people do not use the 'tidyverse', especially in finance where
data is often very large and ultimately needs to be a 'wide' time
series and one tends to do more matrix math than factor munging.
Please create a *minimal* reproducible example using *just* the Rblpapi
package. It will make it easier for others to help you.
