Description
Hi there, I'm trying to add a column of time using pandas. But some dates doesn't work fine in string format. I'm working on jupyter notebook with Anaconda 4.3.0
Here's what I'm trying to do:
data1 = data.head()
date_list = ["2018-01-02", "2017-02-10","2016-03-10", "2015-03-15", "2014-03-16"]
date_index = pd.to_datetime(date_list)
data1['date'] = date_index
data1
And the output is shown below.
Then I try to set 'date' as the index of this data frame.
data1 = data1.set_index("date")
print(data1.index)
data1
Something weird happens when I try to index data using:
data1.loc['2018-01-02']
But other dates work fine. For example:
data1.loc['2015-03-15']
Why is that?
Output of pd.show_versions()
