Pandas: Create a time series using three months frequency


10. Quarterly Time-Series Creation

Write a Pandas program to create a time series using three months frequency.

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

import pandas as pd
time_series = pd.date_range('1/1/2021', periods = 36, freq='3M')
print("Time series using three months frequency:")
print(time_series) 

Sample Output:

Time series using three months frequency:
DatetimeIndex(['2021-01-31', '2021-04-30', '2021-07-31', '2021-10-31',
               '2022-01-31', '2022-04-30', '2022-07-31', '2022-10-31',
               '2023-01-31', '2023-04-30', '2023-07-31', '2023-10-31',
               '2024-01-31', '2024-04-30', '2024-07-31', '2024-10-31',
               '2025-01-31', '2025-04-30', '2025-07-31', '2025-10-31',
               '2026-01-31', '2026-04-30', '2026-07-31', '2026-10-31',
               '2027-01-31', '2027-04-30', '2027-07-31', '2027-10-31',
               '2028-01-31', '2028-04-30', '2028-07-31', '2028-10-31',
               '2029-01-31', '2029-04-30', '2029-07-31', '2029-10-31'],
              dtype='datetime64[ns]', freq='3M')
