How to convert date to datetime?
Question:
I have this type of date ‘20181115 0756’ and also in a diffent dataframe in this format ‘2018-11-15’. I would like to know if there is any way to convert it to datetime without the hours and minutes
date['DATE']= pd.to_datetime(date.DATE)
this converts it to 218-11-15 00:00:00 and I’d like to avoid that
What I trying to do is to calcuate the time difference between the dates in the two dataframes that I have
Thank you in advance
Answers:
You can use the following code
date['DATE'] = pd.to_datetime(date['DATE'], errors='coerce').dt.date
