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 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.BusinessHour.offset attribute is alias for self._offset. It returns a datetime.timedelta value.
Syntax: pandas.tseries.offsets.BusinessHour.offset Parameter : None Returns : datetime.timedelta
Example #1: Use pandas.tseries.offsets.BusinessHour.offset attribute to return the self._offset value for the given offset.
Python3
# importing pandas as pdimport pandas as pd# Creating Timestampts = pd.Timestamp('2019-10-10 11:15:00')# Create an offset of 5 Business hoursbh = pd.tseries.offsets.BusinessHour(n = 5)# Print the Timestampprint(ts)# Print the Offsetprint(bh) |
Output : 
Now we will add the Business hour offset to the given timestamp object to increment the datetime value. We will print the offset value.
Python3
# Adding the Business hour offset to the given timestampnew_timestamp = ts + bh# Print the updated timestampprint(new_timestamp)# print the offsetprint(bh.offset) |
Output : 
As we can see in the output, we have successfully created an offset and added it to the given timestamp. We have also printed the self._offset value. Example #2: Use pandas.tseries.offsets.BusinessHour.offset attribute to return the self._offset value for the given offset.
Python3
# importing pandas as pdimport pandas as pd# Creating Timestampts = pd.Timestamp('2019-10-10 11:15:00')# Create an offsetbh = pd.tseries.offsets.BusinessHour(offset = datetime.timedelta(hours = 1))# Print the Timestampprint(ts)# Print the Offsetprint(bh) |
Output : 
Now we will add the Business hour offset to the given timestamp object to increment the datetime value. We will print the self._offset value.
Python3
# Adding the Business hour offset to the given timestampnew_timestamp = ts + bh# Print the updated timestampprint(new_timestamp)# print the offsetprint(bh.offset) |
Output : 
As we can see in the output, we have successfully created an offset and added it to the given timestamp. We have also printed the self._offset value.
