Jupyter Notebooks Python - Dates
Hi Domo Experts,
I'm having issues writing back dates into a dataset from a pandas dataframe in Juptyer notebooks. I have a datetime column , which I've converted from a string using pandas.to_datetime. However, when I use domojuypiter.write_dataframe, they are converted back into string in the Domo dataset. My dataframe has both numbers and text fields, which are passed without issues.
Am I using the right type of date time object or is there something else I should do differently?
Thanks,
Carlos

Are all of your dates in ISO format? Did you previously write to the dataframe with the dates still formatted as a string? Have you tried writing to a brand new dataset?

Hi Grant,
Yes, this is happening with dates formated as string, isoformat and datetime.
I've deleted the dataset and created a new one and is still happening.

Have you tried providing a datetime format for the pd.to_datetime() method. I've found it best to dictate to this method exactly how to recognize the datetime:
df['column'] = pd.to_datetime(df['column'],
format='%Y-%m-%d'
)
This example will tell the method to recognize a date in a specific format. In this case it will recognize the ISO format. Try this and see if you can get a datetime output with a default time of midnight for the data in that column. If that works, we know we can get the date converted. We can then apply similar formatting for the time:
df['column'] = pd.to_datetime(df[column], format = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
This will tell it to see the time in 24-Hour format. If you need 12-Hour format, replace %H with %I.
pandas.to_datetime() recognizes the same datetime formatting as the datetime.strptime()
See this for all the time formats available:
