I am writing this code to change the type of "Gmt time" column. But, I give "ValueError: time data does not match format ". How could I convert to float or someother types except Object and string? My code is: path= '/content/drive/MyDrive/H1_ASK_Raw.csv' dateparse = lambda dates: pd.datetime.strptime(dates, '%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S.%f') df = pd.read_csv(path,sep=',', index_col='Date', parse_dates=['Gmt time'], date_parser=dateparse).fillna(0) df.head() I get the below Error: TypeError Traceback (most recent call last) /usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/pandas/io/parsers/base_parser.py in converter(*date_cols) 1038 result = tools.to_datetime( -> 1039 date_parser(*date_cols), errors="ignore", cache=cache_dates 1040 ) 18 frames TypeError: strptime() argument 1 must be str, not numpy.ndarray During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: ValueError Traceback (most recent call last) ValueError: time data '05.05.2003 00:00:00.000' does not match format '%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: ValueError Traceback (most recent call last) /usr/lib/python3.7/_strptime.py in _strptime(data_string, format) 357 if not found: 358 raise ValueError("time data %r does not match format %r" % --> 359 (data_string, format)) 360 if len(data_string) != found.end(): 361 raise ValueError("unconverted data remains: %s" % ValueError: time data '05.05.2003 00:00:00.000' does not match format '%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S.%f' Continue reading...
