Python | Pandas Timestamp.fromordinal

Python is a great language for doing data analysis, primarily because of the fantastic ecosystem of data-centric python packages. Pandas is one of those packages and makes importing and analyzing data much easier.

Pandas Timestamp.fromordinal() function return a Timestamp object when passed an ordinal, the function translate and convert it to a ts object. By definition there cannot be any tz info on the ordinal itself.

Syntax :Timestamp.fromordinal()

Parameters :

ordinal : date corresponding to a proleptic Gregorian ordinal

freq : Offset which Timestamp will have

tz : Time zone for time which Timestamp will have

Return : Timestamp

Example #1: Use Timestamp.fromordinal() function to translate the given Timestamp object based on the passed ordinal value.




# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd
  
# Create the Timestamp object
ts = pd.Timestamp(year = 2011,  month = 11, day = 21,
                  hour = 10, second = 49, tz = 'US/Central')
  
# Print the Timestamp object
print(ts)


Output :

Now we will use the Timestamp.fromordinal() function to convert the given Timestamp object.




# convert the given Timestamp object
# based on the passed ordinal value
ts.fromordinal(ordinal = 733829)


Output :

As we can see in the output, the Timestamp.fromordinal() function has returned a new Timestamp object based on the passed ordinal value.

Example #2: Use Timestamp.fromordinal() function to translate the given Timestamp object based on the passed ordinal value. Also set the timezone.




# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd
  
# Create the Timestamp object
ts = pd.Timestamp(year = 2009, month = 5, day = 31,
                  hour = 4, second = 49, tz = 'Europe/Berlin')
  
# Print the Timestamp object
print(ts)


Output :

Now we will use the Timestamp.fromordinal() function to convert the given Timestamp object.




# convert the given Timestamp object
# based on the passed ordinal value
ts.fromordinal(ordinal = 634816, tz = 'Asia / Calcutta')


Output :

As we can see in the output, the Timestamp.fromordinal() function has returned a new Timestamp object based on the passed ordinal value. The function has also set the timezone for the returned Timestamp object.
