Thanks for the guide. How could I run a schedule for dates, for example birthdays. Lets say I create an calendar application, which reminds the user of events?

[mazkaibil]

how about converting an integer value like this "20191131"?

[satishtamang]

I have one column of date in Data frame
it has multiple formats '%13/%01/%2014' or '13-01-2014' how can we change in one go?

[davidgarmroudi]

how can I have the exact date for example 2019-01-10 without 00:00:00???
in you examples, all the dates are presented like 2019-01-10 00:00:00
When I want to add a column for a data frame with 0 and 1 values that presents the absence of presence a weekday, that format cannot be converted?
any answer?

How can we check the format of an inputdate string, to check whether it is in a specific format or not

[jeffjeffjeff]

Could post the syntax to remove the time element from the results please? i.e. to not print HH.MM:SS in the output
