pandas.Series.asfreq

Series.asfreq(freq, method=None, how=None, normalize=False)

Convert TimeSeries to specified frequency.

Optionally provide filling method to pad/backfill missing values.

Parameters:

freq : DateOffset object, or string

method : {‘backfill’/’bfill’, ‘pad’/’ffill’}, default None

Method to use for filling holes in reindexed Series (note this does not fill NaNs that already were present):

  • ‘pad’ / ‘ffill’: propagate last valid observation forward to next valid
  • ‘backfill’ / ‘bfill’: use NEXT valid observation to fill

how : {‘start’, ‘end’}, default end

For PeriodIndex only, see PeriodIndex.asfreq

normalize : bool, default False

Whether to reset output index to midnight

Returns:

converted : type of caller
