bigframes.pandas.api.typing.DatetimeMethods.normalize

DatetimeMethods.normalize() → Series

Convert times to midnight.

The time component of the date-time is converted to midnight i.e. 00:00:00. This is useful in cases when the time does not matter. The return dtype will match the source series.

This method is available on Series with datetime values under the .dt accessor.

Examples:

>>> import bigframes.pandas as bpd
>>> s = bpd.Series(pd.date_range(
...     start='2014-08-01 10:00',
...     freq='h',
...     periods=3,
...     tz='Asia/Calcutta')) # note timezones will be converted to UTC here
>>> s.dt.normalize()
0    2014-08-01 00:00:00+00:00
1    2014-08-01 00:00:00+00:00
2    2014-08-01 00:00:00+00:00
dtype: timestamp[us, tz=UTC][pyarrow]

Returns:

Series of the same dtype as the data.

Return type:

bigframes.pandas.Series
