Python Pandas - Create a DataFrame from the TimeDeltaIndex object but override the name of the resulting column

To create a DataFrame from the TimeDeltaIndex object, use the TimeDeltaIndex to_frame() method. Override the name of the resulting column using the name parameter.

At first, import the required libraries −

import pandas as pd

Create a TimeDeltaIndex object. We have set the timedelta-like data using the 'data' parameter −

tdIndex = pd.TimedeltaIndex(data =['4 day 8h 20min 35us 45ns', '+17:42:19.999999',
'9 day 3h 08:16:02.000055', '+22:35:25.000075'])

Display TimedeltaIndex −

print("TimedeltaIndex...\n", tdIndex)

Create a DataFrame from TimeDeltaIndex object. The original index isn't set in the returned DataFrame using the 'False' parameter. To override the name of the resulting column, we have used the 'name' parameter −

print("\nTimeDeltaIndex to DataFrame...\n", tdIndex.to_frame(index=False, name = 'DateTimeData'))

Example

Following is the code −

import pandas as pd

# Create a TimeDeltaIndex object
# We have set the timedelta-like data using the 'data' parameter
tdIndex = pd.TimedeltaIndex(data =['4 day 8h 20min 35us 45ns', '+17:42:19.999999',
'9 day 3h 08:16:02.000055', '+22:35:25.000075'])

# display TimedeltaIndex
print("TimedeltaIndex...\n", tdIndex)

# Return a dataframe of the components of TimeDeltas
print("\nThe Dataframe of the components of TimeDeltas...\n", tdIndex.components)

# Create a DataFrame from TimeDeltaIndex object
# The original index isn't set in the returned DataFrame using the 'False' parameter
# To override the name of the resulting column, we have used the 'name' parameter
print("\nTimeDeltaIndex to DataFrame...\n", tdIndex.to_frame(index=False, name = 'DateTimeData'))

Output

This will produce the following code −

TimedeltaIndex...
TimedeltaIndex(['4 days 08:20:00.000035045', '0 days 17:42:19.999999',
'9 days 11:16:02.000055', '0 days 22:35:25.000075'],
dtype='timedelta64[ns]', freq=None)
