DataFrame.strftime() to return date and time using input format in Pandas

Generate Datetime format output .

import pandas as pd 
my_data=pd.date_range(start='10/20/2019', end='02/14/2020',freq='M')
df=my_data.strftime('%d-%b-%Y')
print(df)

We created one date range by using date_range() and then used strftime() to format the output. Here is the output

Index(['31-Oct-2019', '30-Nov-2019', '31-Dec-2019', '31-Jan-2020'], dtype='object')

Here is a list of directives can be used to create formatted output.

Weekday	%a	Weekday Name ( local )
	%A	Weekday Name ( in Full )
	%w	Weekday as decimal number(0 Sun, 1 Mon,)
	%W	Week number of the year (00,53) Mon as first day of week
	%U	Week number of the year (00,53) Sun as first day of week
Day	%d	Day of the month as number ( 01,02,31)
	%j	Day of the year as number ( 001,284,336)

	%B	Month name ( October, November)
	%m	Month number (01,12)

	%f	Year Fiscal short 2 digit ( 01,20)
	%F	Year Fiscal Full 4 digit ( 2001,2020)
Hour	%H	Hour 24 hour clock ( 01,23)
	%I	Hour 12 hour clock ( 01,11)
