How to set a custom day of week mapping-CodePudding

I am trying to create my own custom day of the week mapping using python. I have used a few different methods such as dayofweek and isoweekday. Yet all of these dont provide me with what I need.

example of my code
power_data['Day of Week'] = power_data['Date'].dt.dayofweek 1
power_data['Day of Weekv2'] = power_data['Date'].dt.isoweekday

Above is a example portion of my dataframe, the data formatting I would like to follow is Sunday be 1, monday be 2...etc and Saturday be equal to 7. Please let me know if I can do this how its currently presented

CodePudding user response：

As per pandas documentation for weekday, it mentions that:

The day of the week with Monday=0, Sunday=6.

Which means, you just need to add 2 to the weekday value as you want to shift Monday from 0 to 2, then take modulo by 8

# df is your dataframe, and date is the column name consisting pandas Timestamp
>>> (df['date'].dt.weekday 2)%8

#output:
0     5
