Pandas Timestamp Get Day
Pandas provide us with the day attribute that allows extracting the day from a given timestamp object.
Usage
To use this attribute, you need to construct a Timestamp object. You can do this using the timestamp() function as shown:
|
1
2 3 4 |
# import pandas
import pandas as pd ts = pd.Timestamp('2022-04-04') print(ts) |
The above example creates a Pandas timestamp object from a datetime-time string. The resulting output is as shown:
|
1
|
2022-04-04 00:00:00
|
You can explore the Pandas timestamp() function in the resource shown:
https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.Timestamp.html
Extract Day From Timestamp Object
To extract the day from the timestamp object shown above, we can run the code as shown:
|
1
|
print(f"date: {ts.day}")
|
The above should return the day from the provided timestamp object.
Get Day of Week
You can also fetch the day name from a timestamp object using the day_name() function.
An example is as shown:
|
1
|
print(f"day: {ts.day_name()}")
|
