pyspark.pandas.Series.last#

Series.last(offset)[source]#

Select final periods of time series data based on a date offset.

When having a Series with dates as index, this function can select the last few elements based on a date offset.

Deprecated since version 4.0.0.

Parameters
offsetstr or DateOffset

The offset length of the data that will be selected. For instance, ā€˜3Dā€™ will display all the rows having their index within the last 3 days.

Returns
Series

A subset of the caller.

Raises
TypeError

If the index is not a DatetimeIndex

Examples

>>> index = pd.date_range('2018-04-09', periods=4, freq='2D')
>>> psser = ps.Series([1, 2, 3, 4], index=index)
>>> psser
2018-04-09    1
2018-04-11    2
2018-04-13    3
2018-04-15    4
dtype: int64

Get the rows for the last 3 days:

>>> psser.last('3D')
2018-04-13    3
2018-04-15    4
dtype: int64

Notice the data for 3 last calendar days were returned, not the last 3 observed days in the dataset, and therefore data for 2018-04-11 was not returned.
