pandas.Timedelta.resolution_string#

Timedelta.resolution_string#

Return a string representing the lowest timedelta resolution.

Each timedelta has a defined resolution that represents the lowest OR most granular level of precision. Each level of resolution is represented by a short string as defined below:

Resolution: Return value

  • Days: ‘D’

  • Hours: ‘h’

  • Minutes: ‘min’

  • Seconds: ‘s’

  • Milliseconds: ‘ms’

  • Microseconds: ‘us’

  • Nanoseconds: ‘ns’

Returns:
str

Return the smallest possible difference between non-equal Timedelta objects.

Examples

>>> td = pd.Timedelta('1 days 2 min 3 us 42 ns')
>>> td.resolution_string
'ns'

>>> td = pd.Timedelta('1 days 2 min 3 us')
>>> td.resolution_string
'us'

>>> td = pd.Timedelta('2 min 3 s')
>>> td.resolution_string
's'

>>> td = pd.Timedelta(36, unit='us')
>>> td.resolution_string
'us'
