Python | Pandas tseries.offsets.DateOffset.name

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.DateOffset.name attribute allow you to use the offset in functions for simplicity instead of importing and initialising the class. It also returns the name of the frequency that is applied on the offset object.

Syntax: pandas.tseries.offsets.DateOffset.name Parameter : None Returns : name

Example #1: Use pandas.tseries.offsets.DateOffset.name attribute to return the name of the frequency applied on the given DateOffset object. 

Python3

# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd

# importing the to_offset function
from pandas.tseries.frequencies import to_offset

# Creating Timestamp
ts = pd.Timestamp('2019-10-10 07:15:11')

# Create the DateOffset of 2 day
do = to_offset(freq = '2D')

# Print the Timestamp
print(ts)

# Print the DateOffset
print(do)

Output : Now we will add the dateoffset to the given timestamp object to roll forward the date from the given Date. Also return the name of the frequency applied on the given DateOffset object. 

Python3

# Adding the dateoffset to the given timestamp
new_timestamp = ts + do

# Print the updated timestamp
print(new_timestamp)

# Now we will print the name of the frequency
# applied on the given DateOffset object
print(do.name)

Output : As we can see in the output, the attribute has successfully returned the name of the frequency applied on the given Dateoffset object. Example #2: Use pandas.tseries.offsets.DateOffset.name attribute to return the key word arguments applied on the given DateOffset object. 

Python3

# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd

# importing the to_offset function
from pandas.tseries.frequencies import to_offset

# Creating Timestamp
ts = pd.Timestamp('2019-10-10 07:15:11')

# Create the DateOffset
do = to_offset(freq = '10D2H')

# Print the Timestamp
print(ts)

# Print the DateOffset
print(do)

Output : Now we will add the dateoffset to the given timestamp object to roll forward the date from the given Date. Also return the name of the frequency applied on the given DateOffset object. 

Python3

# Adding the dateoffset to the given timestamp
new_timestamp = ts + do

# Print the updated timestamp
print(new_timestamp)

# Now we will print the name of the frequency
# applied on the given DateOffset object
print(do.name)

Output : As we can see in the output, the attribute has successfully returned the name of the frequency applied on the given Dateoffset object.
