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_string
'N'

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

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

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