Python | Pandas Series.slice_shift()

Pandas series is a One-dimensional ndarray with axis labels. The labels need not be unique but must be a hashable type. The object supports both integer- and label-based indexing and provides a host of methods for performing operations involving the index.

Pandas Series.slice_shift() function is equivalent to shift without copying data. The shifted data will not include the dropped periods and the shifted axis will be smaller than the original.

Syntax: Series.slice_shift(periods=1, axis=0)

Parameter :
periods : Number of periods to move, can be positive or negative

Returns : shifted : same type as caller

Example #1: Use Series.slice_shift() function to shift the data of the given Series object by 2 periods.

                     periods = 6, tz = 'Europe/Berlin') 
  
# set the index
sr.index = didx
  
# Print the series

Output : 




Now we will use Series.slice_shift() function to shift the data in the given series object by 2 periods.

                        chevron_right







                        filter_none










Output : 




As we can see in the output, the Series.slice_shift() function has successfully shifted the data over the index. Notice the first two index labels are dropped.

 

Example #2:  Use Series.slice_shift() function to shift the data of the given Series object by -2 periods.

Output : 




As we can see in the output, the Series.slice_shift() function has successfully shifted the data over the index. Notice the last two index labels are dropped and the data has been shifted upward.
