Auf Tages- oder Monatsebene resamplen

Per-second or per-minute data is noisy. Often you really want totals per day or per month. Resampling rolls fine timestamps into bigger buckets. 📊

Resample works on time. So step one is making the datetime column your index with set_index.

The resample method groups rows by a time rule, much like groupby but for dates. You then pick how to combine each bucket.

Use the rule "D" for days, then sum. This collapses many timestamps into one clean value per day.

Switch the rule to "ME" for month-end and you get one row per month. Same pattern, bigger bucket.

The frequency string drives everything: "W" for weeks, "h" for hours, "YE" for year-end. One letter changes your whole view.

Sum is not the only option. Swap in mean, max, or count to answer different questions from the same buckets.

Pass a list to agg to get multiple summaries per bucket in a single tidy table.

Going to a coarser bucket is downsampling. Going finer, like daily into hourly, is upsampling and creates empty slots to fill.

When you upsample, fresh rows arrive empty. Use ffill to carry the last known value forward into them.

Resampled series plot beautifully because the noise is gone. A monthly line tells a trend story a raw feed never could.

You have minute-level readings but want one average per day.

With a datetime index you used resample to roll data into days, weeks, or months, picked an aggregation, and handled upsampled gaps with ffill. ⏳
