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: ‘T’
Seconds: ‘S’
Milliseconds: ‘L’
Microseconds: ‘U’
Nanoseconds: ‘N’

Returns

str: Timedelta resolution.

Examples

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

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

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

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