polars.Series.dt.add_business_days#

Series.dt.add_business_days( n: int | IntoExpr, week_mask: Iterable[bool] = (True, True, True, True, True, False, False), holidays: Iterable[dt.date] = (), roll: Roll = 'raise', ) → Expr[source]#

Offset by n business days.

Parameters:

n

Number of business days to offset by. Can be a single number of an expression.

week_mask

Which days of the week to count. The default is Monday to Friday. If you wanted to count only Monday to Thursday, you would pass (True, True, True, True, False, False, False).

holidays

Holidays to exclude from the count. The Python package python-holidays may come in handy here. You can install it with pip install holidays, and then, to get all Dutch holidays for years 2020-2024:

import holidays

my_holidays = holidays.country_holidays("NL", years=range(2020, 2025))

and pass holidays=my_holidays when you call business_day_count.

roll

What to do when the start date lands on a non-business day. Options are:

'raise': raise an error
'forward': move to the next business day
'backward': move to the previous business day

Returns:

Expr: Data type is preserved.

Examples

>>> from datetime import date
>>> s = pl.Series("start", [date(2020, 1, 1), date(2020, 1, 2)])
>>> s.dt.add_business_days(5)
shape: (2,)
Series: 'start' [date]
[
        2020-01-08
        2020-01-09
]

You can pass a custom weekend - for example, if you only take Sunday off:

>>> week_mask = (True, True, True, True, True, True, False)
>>> s.dt.add_business_days(5, week_mask)
shape: (2,)
Series: 'start' [date]
[
        2020-01-07
        2020-01-08
]

You can also pass a list of holidays:

>>> from datetime import date
>>> holidays = [date(2020, 1, 3), date(2020, 1, 6)]
>>> s.dt.add_business_days(5, holidays=holidays)
shape: (2,)
Series: 'start' [date]
[
        2020-01-10
        2020-01-13
]

Roll all dates forwards to the next business day:

>>> s = pl.Series("start", [date(2020, 1, 5), date(2020, 1, 6)])
>>> s.dt.add_business_days(0, roll="forward")
shape: (2,)
Series: 'start' [date]
[
        2020-01-06
        2020-01-06
