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.CustomBusinessHour.offset attribute returns a datetime.timedelta value. It is an alias for self._offset.
Syntax: pandas.tseries.offsets.CustomBusinessHour.offset Parameter : None Returns : datetime.timedelta
Example #1: Use pandas.tseries.offsets.CustomBusinessHour.offset attribute to print the self._offset value for the given offset.
Python3
# importing pandas as pdimport pandas as pd# Creating Timestampts = pd.Timestamp('2019-4-23 11:15:00')# Create an offsetcbh = pd.tseries.offsets.CustomBusinessHour(n = 2, weekmask = 'Mon Tue Wed Thu', start ='12:00')# Print the Timestampprint(ts)# Print the Offsetprint(cbh) |
Output : 
Now we will add the offset to the given timestamp object to increment the datetime value. We will also print the self._offset value.
Python3
# Adding the offset to the given timestampnew_timestamp = ts + cbh# Print the updated timestampprint(new_timestamp)# return the self._offset valueresult = cbh.offset# print the resultprint(result) |
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 for the given offset. Example #2: Use pandas.tseries.offsets.CustomBusinessHour.offset attribute to print the self._offset value for the given offset.
Python3
# importing pandas as pdimport pandas as pd# Creating Timestampts = pd.Timestamp('2019-4-23 11:15:00')# Create an offsetcbh = pd.tseries.offsets.CustomBusinessHour(start ='07:00', end ='14:00')# Print the Timestampprint(ts)# Print the Offsetprint(cbh) |
Output : Now we will add the offset to the given timestamp object to increment the datetime value. We will also print the self._offset value.
Python3
# Adding the offset to the given timestampnew_timestamp = ts + cbh# Print the updated timestampprint(new_timestamp)# move the passed timestamp to the # return the self._offset valueresult = cbh.offset# print the resultprint(result) |
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 for the given offset.
