Need to change 24:00 to 23:00 time for portion of data in Python

Question

I have data for 2018 and 2017 that uses 24:00 hour times like this:

Hour Ending         X           Y       Z
12/31/2017 24:00    11452.16    1834.87 2856.94         


        

Answer 1

You can use pd.to_timedelta to help:

s = df['Hour Ending'].str.split()
df['Hour Ending'] = pd.to_datetime(s.str[0]) + pd.to_timedelta(s.str[1].str.split(':').str[0] +' hours')
print(df)

Output:

           Hour Ending         X        Y        Z
