Hey guys have tried finding a solution to filtering data by month and year but havent found appropriate answer. Here is how my dataset looks like:
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame([('Jorh Hospital','2017-03-15', 389.0,34, 32, 34),
('orh Hospital','2018-04-20', np.nan,22, 5, 43),
('Jorh Hospital','2018-05-20', np.nan,22, 5, 43),
('Bugh Hospital','2019-02-16', 80.5,np.nan, 56, np.nan),
('Bugeh Hospital','2019-03-23', np.nan,89, 67, np.nan),
('ugh Hospital','2019-04-23', np.nan,89, 67, np.nan)],
columns=('Hosp_name','date', 'max_rec', 'reg_pp', 'disch_no', 'temp_rec'))
df
Using data column, I want to select data from April 2018 to March 2019. Kindly assist me with simple way to use month and date range to filter this data. Here is what I tried
df['date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['date'], errors='coerce')
df['date'] = df['date'].dt.to_period('m')
df[(df['date'] > '2018-04') & (df['date'] <= '2019-03')]
This ain't working as expected, its giving me two table outputs. what am I missing
