I have this column Date_X in pandas dataframe which is a object. I am not able to use pandas to_datetime function here. I want to convert this column to a range of 1 to 365, using which I can carry on my analysis.

You can use pandas.to_datetime()
by providing the format explicitly using the format
keyword argument. Example -
import pandas as pd
pd.to_datetime(dataframe['column'],format='%d%b%y:%H:%M:%S')
The explanation for the format -
%d
- 2 digit date%b
- 2 letter month abbreviation%y
- 2 digit year%H
- 2 digit hour (24-hour format)
%M
- Minutes%S
- Seconds
Demo -
In [46]: pd.to_datetime('29JAN14:21:16:00') #Not working
Out[46]: '29JAN14:21:16:00'
In [48]: pd.to_datetime('29JAN14:21:16:00',format='%d%b%y:%H:%M:%S') #Working
Out[48]: Timestamp('2014-01-29 21:16:00')
