pandas fill missing dates in time series

Question

I have a dataframe which has aggregated data for some days. I want to add in the missing days

I was following another post, Add missing dates to pandas dataframe, u

Answer 1

You need to use period_range rather than date_range:

In [11]: idx = pd.period_range(min(df.date), max(df.date))
    ...: results.reindex(idx, fill_value=0)
    ...:
Out[11]:
                  f1        f2        f3        f4

This is because your groupby uses PeriodIndex, rather than datetime:

df.groupby(pd.PeriodIndex(data=df.date, freq='D'))

You could have instead used a pd.Grouper:

df.groupby(pd.Grouper(key="date", freq='D'))

which would have give a datetime index.
