verticapy.vDataColumn.isdate#

vDataColumn.isdate() → bool#

Returns True if the vDataColumn category is date, False otherwise.

Returns#

bool: True if the vDataColumn category is date.

Examples#

We import verticapy:

import verticapy as vp

Hint

By assigning an alias to verticapy, we mitigate the risk of code collisions with other libraries. This precaution is necessary because verticapy uses commonly known function names like “average” and “median”, which can potentially lead to naming conflicts. The use of an alias ensures that the functions from verticapy are used as intended without interfering with functions from other libraries.

For this example, we will use the Amazon dataset.

import verticapy.datasets as vpd

amazon = vpd.load_amazon()
