Learn Pandas in Python #12 — Working with Dates and Times

In this video we learn how to work with dates in pandas using Nami's personal berry ledger — income, expenses, and the occasional theft, tracked over five months. Here is what we cover: Why dates loaded from a CSV are just text until you convert them Converting text to real dates with to_datetime Filtering rows using date comparisons Extracting month and day names with the dt accessor Grouping by month and keeping the results in proper calendar order Calculating totals per category and an overall net total Building a running balance over time with cumsum Getting weekly and monthly totals with resample No prior data experience needed. All code runs directly in Google Colab — just open your browser and follow along. #pandas #python #dataanalysis #pythonforbeginners #googlecolab
