How can I change it to a date type?
Professor, please.
Code
import pandas as pd
from datetime import datetime as dt, date, timedelta
input_folder=r "C:\Users\user\Documents\excel\test.txt"
output_folder=r "C:\Users\user\Documents\excel\test1.xlsx"
df=pd.read_table(input_folder, encoding='utf_8', sep=',')
# print(df.dtypes)
# String in specified format
df['Date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['Date']).dt.strftime("%Y/%#m/%#d").fillna('')
print(df.dtypes)
# Date type in specified format
df['Date'] = pd.to_datetime(df["Date", format="%Y / %m / %d")
print(df.dtypes)
df.to_excel(output_folder, encoding='utf_8_sig', index=False)
You should format the date_format and datetime_format arguments in pd.ExcelWriter.
with pd.ExcelWriter("test2.xlsx", date_format="YYYY/MM/DD", datetime_format="YYY/MM/DD")aswriter:
df.to_excel(writer)
