Pandas Drop rows for current Year-month

Question

My dataframe has multiple years and months in "yyyy-mm-dd" format. I would like to dynamically drop all current Year-month rows from the df

Answer 1

you could use a simple strftime method where the %Y%m is not equal to the year month of the current date.

df1 = df.loc[
 df['Date'].dt.strftime('%Y%m') != pd.Timestamp('today').strftime('%Y%m')]

Example

d = pd.date_range('01 oct 2021', '01 dec 2021',freq='d')      
df = pd.DataFrame(d,columns=['Date'])    


print(df)
         Date
0  2021-10-01
1  2021-10-02
2  2021-10-03
3  2021-10-04
4  2021-10-05
..        ...
57 2021-11-27
58 2021-11-28
59 2021-11-29
60 2021-11-30
61 2021-12-01
