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.
