Convert datetime columns to a different timezone pandas

Convert datetime columns to a different timezone pandas

To convert datetime columns to a different timezone in a Pandas DataFrame, you can use the dt accessor's tz_convert() method. Here's how you can do it:

Assuming you have a DataFrame named df with a datetime column named 'datetime_column' and you want to convert it to a different timezone:

import pandas as pd from pytz import timezone # Sample DataFrame data = {'datetime_column': ['2023-08-23 10:00:00', '2023-08-23 14:00:00']} df = pd.DataFrame(data) # Convert strings to datetime objects df['datetime_column'] = pd.to_datetime(df['datetime_column']) # Define the target timezone target_timezone = 'America/New_York' # Change this to your desired timezone # Convert datetime column to the target timezone target_tz = timezone(target_timezone) df['datetime_column'] = df['datetime_column'].dt.tz_localize('UTC').dt.tz_convert(target_tz) print(df)

In this example, the 'datetime_column' is converted from UTC to the specified target timezone using the tz_localize() and tz_convert() methods. Adjust the 'America/New_York' timezone to your desired timezone.

Keep in mind that the pytz library is used for working with timezones. If you haven't already, you may need to install it using pip install pytz.

Please ensure that your DataFrame has the correct datetime format and structure before performing timezone conversions.
