无法将字符串转换为日期时间 Pandas to_datetime() 超时错误

Question

Error message: OutOfBoundsDatetime: Out of bounds nanosecond timestamp: 1-05-22 00:00:00

Given dataframe

Date	Value
May 22	1K
Apr 22	2K
...	...
Jan 00	10K

I have tried convert it to string and called the to_datetime()

    df['Date'] = df['Date'].apply(str)
    df['Date'] =  pd.to_datetime(df['Date'])

My goal is to convert Date to datetime 05-2022, 04-2022, ... 01-2000

Answer 1

You can manually specify format argument of pd.to_datetime

df['Date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['Date'], format='%b %y')

print(df)

        Date Value
0 2022-05-01    1K
1 2022-04-01    2K
2 2000-01-01   10K

print(df['Date'].dt.strftime('%m-%Y'))

      Date Value
0  05-2022    1K
1  04-2022    2K
2  01-2000   10K
