Merging DataFrames Based on Timestamp Column Using Pandas
Solution Explanation The goal of this problem is to merge two dataframes, df_1 and df_2, based on the ’timestamp’ column. The ’timestamp’ column in df_2 should be converted to a datetime format for accurate comparison. Step 1: Convert Timestamps to Datetime Format First, we convert the timestamps in both dataframes to datetime format using pd.to_datetime() function. # Convert timestamp to datetime format df_1.timestamp = pd.to_datetime(df_1.timestamp, format='%Y-%m-%d') df_2.start = pd.to_datetime(df_2.start, format='%Y-%m-%d') df_2.
