Examples

>>> i = pd.date_range('2018-04-09', periods=4, freq='2D')
>>> ts = pd.DataFrame({'A': [1,2,3,4]}, index=i)
>>> ts
            A
2018-04-09  1
2018-04-11  2
2018-04-13  3
2018-04-15  4

Get the rows for the last 3 days:

>>> ts.last('3D')
            A
2018-04-13  3
2018-04-15  4

Notice the data for 3 last calender days were returned, not the last 3 observed days in the dataset, and therefore data for 2018-04-11 was not returned.
