I have problems with transforming a Pandas dataframe column with dates to a number.
import matplotlib.dates
import datetime
for x in arsenalchelsea['Datum']:
year = int(x[:4])
month = int(x[5:7])
day = int(x[8:10])
hour = int(x[11:13])
minute = int(x[14:16])
sec = int(x[17:19])
arsenalchelsea['floatdate']=date2num(datetime.datetime(year, month, day, hour, minute, sec))
arsenalchelsea
I want to make a new column in my dataframe with the dates in numbers, because i want to make a line graph later with the date on the x-as.
This is the format of the date:
2017-11-29 14:06:45
Does anyone have a solution for this problem?
Slicing strings to get date components is bad practice. You should convert to datetime and extract directly.
In this case, it seems you can just use pd.to_datetime, but below I also demonstrate how you can extract the various components once you have performed the conversion.
df = pd.DataFrame({'Date': ['2017-01-15 14:55:42', '2017-11-10 12:15:21', '2017-12-05 22:05:45']})
df['Date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['Date'])
df[['year', 'month', 'day', 'hour', 'minute', 'sec']] = \
df['Date'].apply(lambda x: (x.year, x.month, x.day, x.hour, x.minute, x.second)).apply(pd.Series)
Result:
Date year month day hour minute sec
0 2017-01-15 14:55:42 2017 1 15 14 55 42
1 2017-11-10 12:15:21 2017 11 10 12 15 21
2 2017-12-05 22:05:45 2017 12 5 22 5 45

I have a df
date
2021-03-12
2021-03-17
...
2022-05-21
2022-08-17
I am trying to add a column year_week, but my year week starts at 2021-06-28, which is the first day of July.
I tried:
df['date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['date'])
df['year_week'] = (df['date'] - timedelta(days=datetime(2021, 6, 24).timetuple()
.tm_yday)).dt.isocalendar().week
I played around with the timedelta days values so that the 2021-06-28 has a value of 1.
But then I got problems with previous & dates exceeding my start date + 1 year:
2021-03-12 has a value of 38
2022-08-17 has a value of 8
So it looks like the valid period is from 2021-06-28 + 1 year.
date year_week
2021-03-12 38 # LY38
2021-03-17 39 # LY39
2021-06-28 1 # correct
...
2022-05-21 47 # correct
2022-08-17 8 # NY8
Is there a way to get around this? As I am aggregating the data by year week I get incorrect results due to the past & upcoming dates. I would want to have negative dates for the days before 2021-06-28 or LY38 denoting that its the year week of the last year, accordingly year weeks of 52+ or NY8 denoting that this is the 8th week of the next year?
Here is a way, I added two dates more than a year away. You need the isocalendar from the difference between the date column and the dayofyear of your specific date. Then you can select the different scenario depending on the year of your specific date. use np.select for the different result format.
#dummy dataframe
df = pd.DataFrame(
{'date': ['2020-03-12', '2021-03-12', '2021-03-17', '2021-06-28',
'2022-05-21', '2022-08-17', '2023-08-17']
}
)
# define start date
d = pd.to_datetime('2021-6-24')
# remove the nomber of day of year from each date
s = (pd.to_datetime(df['date']) - pd.Timedelta(days=d.day_of_year)
).dt.isocalendar()
# get the difference in year
m = (s['year'].astype('int32') - d.year)
# all condition of result depending on year difference
conds = [m.eq(0), m.eq(-1), m.eq(1), m.lt(-1), m.gt(1)]
choices = ['', 'LY','NY',(m+1).astype(str)+'LY', '+'+(m-1).astype(str)+'NY']
# create the column
df['res'] = np.select(conds, choices) + s['week'].astype(str)
print(df)
date res
0 2020-03-12 -1LY38
1 2021-03-12 LY38
2 2021-03-17 LY39
3 2021-06-28 1
4 2022-05-21 47
5 2022-08-17 NY8
6 2023-08-17 +1NY8
I think
pandas period_range can be of some help
pd.Series(pd.period_range("6/28/2017", freq="W", periods=Number of weeks you want))
I have a Pandas dataframe, which looks like below
I want to create a new column, which tells the exact date from the information from all the above columns. The code should look something like this:
df['Date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['Month']+df['WeekOfMonth']+df['DayOfWeek']+df['Year'])
I was able to find a workaround for your case. You will need to define the dictionaries for the months and the days of the week.
month = {"Jan":"01", "Feb":"02", "March":"03", "Apr": "04", "May":"05", "Jun":"06", "Jul":"07", "Aug":"08", "Sep":"09", "Oct":"10", "Nov":"11", "Dec":"12"}
week = {"Monday":1,"Tuesday":2,"Wednesday":3,"Thursday":4,"Friday":5,"Saturday":6,"Sunday":7}
With this dictionaries the transformation that I used with a custom dataframe was:
rows = [["Dec",5,"Wednesday", "1995"],
["Jan",3,"Wednesday","2013"]]
df = pd.DataFrame(rows, columns=["Month","Week","Weekday","Year"])
df['Date'] = (df["Year"] + "-" + df["Month"].map(month) + "-" + (df["Week"].apply(lambda x: (x - 1)*7) + df["Weekday"].map(week).apply(int) ).apply(str)).astype('datetime64[ns]')
However you have to be careful. With some data that you posted as example there were some dates that exceeds the date range. For example, for
row = ["Oct",5,"Friday","2018"]
The date displayed is 2018-10-33. I recommend using some logic to filter your data in order to avoid this kind of problems.
Let's approach it in 3 steps as follows:
Get the date of month start Month_Start from Year and Month
Calculate the date offsets DateOffset relative to Month_Start from WeekOfMonth and DayOfWeek
Get the actual date Date from Month_Start and DateOffset
Here's the codes:
df['Month_Start'] = pd.to_datetime(df['Year'].astype(str) + df['Month'] + '01', format="%Y%b%d")
import time
df['DateOffset'] = (df['WeekOfMonth'] - 1) * 7 + df['DayOfWeek'].map(lambda x: time.strptime(x, '%A').tm_wday) - df['Month_Start'].dt.dayofweek
df['Date'] = df['Month_Start'] + pd.to_timedelta(df['DateOffset'], unit='D')
Output:
Month WeekOfMonth DayOfWeek Year Month_Start DateOffset Date
0 Dec 5 Wednesday 1995 1995-12-01 26 1995-12-27
1 Jan 3 Wednesday 2013 2013-01-01 15 2013-01-16
2 Oct 5 Friday 2018 2018-10-01 32 2018-11-02
3 Jun 2 Saturday 1980 1980-06-01 6 1980-06-07
4 Jan 5 Monday 1976 1976-01-01 25 1976-01-26
The Date column now contains the dates derived from the information from other columns.
You can remove the working interim columns, if you like, as follows:
df = df.drop(['Month_Start', 'DateOffset'], axis=1)
I have a dataframe with multiple columns, one of which is a date column. I'm interested in creating a new column which contains the number of months between the date column and a preset date. For example one of the dates in the 'start date' column is '2019-06-30 00:00:00' i would want to be able to calculate the number of months between that date and the end of 2021 so 2021-12-31 and place the answer into a new column and do this for the entire date column in the dataframe. I haven't been able to work out how i could go about this but i would like it in the end to look like this if the predetermined end date was 2021-12-31:
df =
|start date months
0|2019-06-30 30
1|2019-08-12 28
2|2020-01-24 23
You can do this using np.timedelta64:
end_date = pd.to_datetime('2021-12-31')
df['start date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['start date'])
df['month'] = ((end_date - df['start date'])/np.timedelta64(1, 'M')).astype(int)
print(df)
start date month
0 2019-06-30 30
1 2019-08-12 28
2 2020-01-24 23
Assume that start date column is of datetime type (not string)
and the reference date is defined as follows:
refDate = pd.to_datetime('2021-12-31')
or any other date of your choice.
Then you can compute the number of months as:
df['months'] = (refDate.to_period('M') - df['start date']\
.dt.to_period('M')).apply(lambda x: x.n)
My dataset has dates in the European format, and I'm struggling to convert it into the correct format before I pass it through a pd.to_datetime, so for all day < 12, my month and day switch.
Is there an easy solution to this?
import pandas as pd
import datetime as dt
df = pd.read_csv(loc,dayfirst=True)
df['Date']=pd.to_datetime(df['Date'])
Is there a way to force datetime to acknowledge that the input is formatted at dd/mm/yy?
Thanks for the help!
Edit, a sample from my dates:
renewal["Date"].head()
Out[235]:
0 31/03/2018
2 30/04/2018
3 28/02/2018
4 30/04/2018
5 31/03/2018
Name: Earliest renewal date, dtype: object
After running the following:
renewal['Date']=pd.to_datetime(renewal['Date'],dayfirst=True)
I get:
Out[241]:
0 2018-03-31 #Correct
2 2018-04-01 #<-- this number is wrong and should be 01-04 instad
3 2018-02-28 #Correct
Add format.
df['Date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['Date'], format='%d/%m/%Y')
You can control the date construction directly if you define separate columns for 'year', 'month' and 'day', like this:
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame(
{'Date': ['01/03/2018', '06/08/2018', '31/03/2018', '30/04/2018']}
)
date_parts = df['Date'].apply(lambda d: pd.Series(int(n) for n in d.split('/')))
date_parts.columns = ['day', 'month', 'year']
df['Date'] = pd.to_datetime(date_parts)
date_parts
# day month year
# 0 1 3 2018
# 1 6 8 2018
# 2 31 3 2018
# 3 30 4 2018
df
# Date
# 0 2018-03-01
# 1 2018-08-06
# 2 2018-03-31
# 3 2018-04-30
I'm trying to take a column in yyyy-mm-dd format and convert to it mm-dd format (or MON DD, that works too), while preserving a date or numeric format. I've tried to use pd.to_datetime, but it seems that doesn't work because it requires the year, so it ends up padding the new columns with year 1900. I'm not looking for conversion in which the new column is a object, because I need to use the column to plot later on. What's the best approach? Data frame is pretty small.
OldDate NewDate1 NewDate2 NewDate3
2017-01-02 01-02 01/02 Jan 2
2015-05-14 05-14 05/14 May 14
Let's say you have:
df = pd.DataFrame({"OldDate":["2017-01-02","2015-05-14"]})
df
OldDate
0 2017-01-02
1 2015-05-14
Then you can do:
from datetime import datetime as dt
df['OldDate'] = df.OldDate.apply(lambda s: dt.strptime(s, "%Y-%m-%d"))
df['NewDate1'] = df.OldDate.dt.strftime("%m-%d")
df['NewDate2'] = df.OldDate.dt.strftime("%m/%d")
df['NewDate3'] = df.OldDate.dt.strftime("%b %d")
df
OldDate NewDate1 NewDate2 NewDate3
0 2017-01-02 01-02 01/02 Jan 02
1 2015-05-14 05-14 05/14 May 14
You can use the substring concept on OldDate as below:
OldDate = '2017-01-02'
NewDate1=OldDate[5:]
print(NewDate1) # This will give result as : "01-02"
NewDate2 = OldDate[5:7] + "/" + OldDate[8:10]
print(NewDate2) # This will give result as "01/02"
