What values are valid in Pandas 'Freq' tags?
I am new to Pandas, and am trying to use date_range
. I came across all kinds of good things for freq
, like BME
and BMS
and I would like to be able to quickly look up the proper strings to get what I want. Yesterday I found a nicely formatted table somewhere in the documentation, but the title of the table was so obtuse that I can not use search to find it again today.
