How to Know if a Date is the Last Day of the Month in Pandas Series

To know if a date in the Pandas Series is the last day of the respective month, we use the Series.dt.is_month_end attribute of the Pandas library in Python.

Let us understand it better with an example 

Example:

Use the Series.dt.is_month_end attribute to check if the dates in the underlying data of the given series object are the last day of the month or not.

Python3
# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd

# Creating the Series
sr = pd.Series(pd.date_range('2012-3-31 00:00', 
                      periods = 5, freq = 'M'))

# Creating the index
idx = ['Day 1', 'Day 2', 'Day 3', 'Day 4', 'Day 5']

# set the index
sr.index = idx

# Print the series
print(sr)

Output :

created datetime series

Now we will use the Series.dt.is_month_end attribute to check if the dates in the given series object is the last day of the month or not.

Python3
# check if dates are the last
# day of the month or not
result = sr.dt.is_month_end

# print the result
print(result)

Output :

checking if date is last day of month

As we can see in the output, the dt.is_month_end attribute has successfully accessed and returned boolean values indicating whether the dates are the last day of the month.
