Dateoffsets are a standard kind of date increment used for a date range in Pandas. It works exactly like relativedelta in terms of the keyword args we pass in. DateOffsets work as follows, each offset specify a set of dates that conform to the DateOffset. For example, Bday defines this set to be the set of dates that are weekdays (M-F). DateOffsets can be created to move dates forward a given number of valid dates. For example, Bday(2) can be added to a date to move it two business days forward. If the date does not start on a valid date, first it is moved to a valid date and then offset is created. Pandas tseries.offsets.CustomBusinessDay.copy() function creates a copy of the given offset object.
Syntax: pandas.tseries.offsets.CustomBusinessDay.copy() Parameter : None Returns : copy
Example #1: Use pandas.tseries.offsets.CustomBusinessDay.rollforward() function to create a copy of the given offset object.
Python3
# importing pandas as pd import pandas as pd # Creating Timestamp ts = pd.Timestamp( '2019-4-23 11:15:00' ) # Create an offset cbd = pd.tseries.offsets.CustomBusinessDay(weekmask = 'Mon Tue Wed' ) # Print the Timestamp print (ts) # Print the Offset print (cbd) |
Output : Now we will add the offset to the given timestamp object to increment the datetime value. We will also create a copy of the given offset object.
Python3
# Adding the offset to the given timestamp new_timestamp = ts + cbd # Print the updated timestamp print (new_timestamp) # now create a copy of the given offset object. cbd_copy = cbd.copy() # check if the copies are same print (cbd_copy is cbd) |
Output : As we can see in the output, we have successfully created an offset and added it to the given timestamp. We have also created a copy of the given offset object. Example #2: Use pandas.tseries.offsets.CustomBusinessDay.rollforward() function to create a copy of the given offset object.
Python3
# importing pandas as pd import pandas as pd # Creating Timestamp ts = pd.Timestamp( '2019-4-23 11:15:00' ) # Create an offset cbd = pd.tseries.offsets.CustomBusinessDay(n = 3 , weekmask = 'Mon Tue Wed Thu' ) # Print the Timestamp print (ts) # Print the Offset print (cbd) |
Output : Now we will add the offset to the given timestamp object to increment the datetime value. We will also create a copy of the given offset object.
Python3
# Adding the offset to the given timestamp new_timestamp = ts + cbd # Print the updated timestamp print (new_timestamp) # now create a copy of the given offset object. cbd_copy = cbd.copy() # check if the copies are same print (cbd_copy is cbd) |
Output : As we can see in the output, we have successfully created an offset and added it to the given timestamp. We have also created a copy of the given offset object.
