Series.dt can be used to access series values as datetimelike and return multiple properties. Series.dt.month Pandas Series.dt.month returns an empty array containing the month of the date and time in base data of this series object.

Syntax: Series.dt.month

Parameter: None

Returns: numpy array

Example # 1: Use the Series.dt.month attribute to return the month of the datetime in the underlying data of the given Series object.

# import pandas as pd

import pandas as pd

# Create series

sr = pd.Series ([ ’ 2012-10-21 09:30’ , ’2019-7-18 12:30’ , ’2008-02-2 10:30’ ,

     ’2010-4-22 09: 25’  ,  ’ 2019 -11-8 02: 22’  ]) 
   
  # Create index  
   idx   =   [  ’Day 1’  ,  ’ Day 2’  ,   ’Day 3’  ,   ’Day 4’  ,  ’ Day 5’  ] 
   
  # set index   
  sr.index   =   idx  
   
  # Convert base data to date and time  
   sr   =   pd.to_datetime (sr) 
   
  # Print series  
   print   (sr)

Output:

Now we will use the Series.dt attribute .month to return the month of the datetime in the underlying data of this Series object.

# return month

result = sr.dt.month

# print result

print (result)

Exit :

As we can see from the output, the Series.dt.month attribute successfully accessed and returned the month of the datetime in the underlying data of this series object.

Example # 2: Use the Series.dt.month attribute to return the month of the datetime in the underlying data of the given Series object.

# import pandas as pd

import pandas as pd

# Create series

sr = pd.Series (pd.date_range ( ’2012-12-12 12:12 ’ ,

periods = 5 , freq = ’H’ ))

# Create index

idx = [ ’Day 1’ , ’Day 2’ , ’ Day 3’ , ’Day 4’ , ’Day 5’ ]

    
  # set index  
   sr.index   =   idx 
   
  # Print series  
   print   (sr)

Output:

We will now use the Series.dt.month attribute to return the month of the datetime in the underlying data of this Series object.

# return month

result = sr.dt .month

# print result

print (result)

Output:

As we can see from the output, the Series.dt.month attribute successfully accessed and returned the month of the datetime in the underlying data of the given series object.
