How to Extract Day of Week From Pandas Series

To extract the day of the week from the Pandas Series we use the dt.dayofweek attribute of the Pandas library in Python.

Let us understand it better with an example:

Example:

Use the Series.dt.dayofweek attribute to return the day of the week for the given DateTime in the underlying data of the given Series object.

Output :

👁 datetime series created

Now we will use the dt.dayofweek attribute to return the day of the week for the given DateTime in the underlying data of the given Series object.

Output :

👁 day of week returned

As we can see in the output, the dt.dayofweek attribute has successfully accessed and returned the day of week in the underlying data of the given series object.
