Quickly Convert Pandas Timestamps to Simple Date Strings

1. Introduction

The author, known as "皮皮", was asked in the Python community group "苍龙" to solve a Pandas time‑processing problem, illustrated by the following screenshot.

2. Solution

The provided answer creates a DataFrame, prints the original time column, converts it to datetime, and formats it as %Y-%m-%d. The resulting code is:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({"time": ['06/27/2022 12:00', '06/27/2022 12:01']})
print(df.time)
df.time = pd.to_datetime(df.time).dt.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
print(df.time)

The code works as expected, as shown in the following output image.
