I have a dataframe made from pulling in different excel sheets.
I am trying to normalise the date_time column to just a standard DD/MM/YYY format. Is that possible?
| 1 | DATE | Column 3 | Column 4 | Column 5 | Column 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 01/03/2021 00:00 | ||||
| 3 | 01/03/2021 00:00 | ||||
| 4 | 01/03/2021 00:00 | ||||
| 5 | 01/03/2021 00:00 | ||||
| 6 | 01/03/2021 00:00 | ||||
| ... | ... | ||||
| 122350 | 11/24/2022 | ||||
| 122351 | 11/24/2022 | ||||
| 122352 | 11/24/2022 | ||||
| 122353 | 11/24/2022 | ||||
| 122354 | 11/24/2022 | ||||

# example df
df = pd.DataFrame({'DATE': ['01/03/2021 00:00', '01/03/2021 00:00', '01/03/2021 00:00', '01/03/2021 00:00', '01/03/2021 00:00', '11/24/2022', '11/24/2022', '11/24/2022', '11/24/2022', '11/24/2022']})
df['DATE'] = pd.to_datetime(df['DATE'])
df['DATE'] = df['DATE'].dt.strftime('%d/%m/%Y')
output:
