How can I Group By Month from a Date field using Python/Pandas

Question

I have a Data-frame df which is as follows:

| date      | Revenue |
|-----------|---------|
| 6/2/2017  | 100     |
| 5/23/2017 | 200     |
| 5/20/2017 | 300             


        

Answer 1

try this:

In [6]: df['date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['date'])

In [7]: df
Out[7]: 
        date  Revenue
0 2017-06-02      100
1 2017-05-23      200
2 2017-05-20      300
3 2017-06-22      400
4 2017-06-21      500



In [59]: df.groupby(df['date'].dt.strftime('%B'))['Revenue'].sum().sort_values()
Out[59]: 
date
May      500
June    1000
