查找小于今天的最大日期

Question

I'm trying to locate the current date (in this example the date was 1/15/2021) across all columns and return the result in the “current status” column.

The logic behind this in excel is max(if(B2:E2<=“1/15/2021”,B2:E2))

I'm not sure how to work this out through python

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I would just do this

from datetime import datetime as dt
df['current status'] = dt.now().date()

this would be the easiest way
