Splitting Dates in a DataFrame: A Step-by-Step Guide

When working with a dataset in Python using pandas, you may encounter situations where you need to extract specific components from date columns. This can be especially important when analyzing trends over time. One common scenario involves splitting a dataset with multiple date columns into different components such as year, week, day, and more.

The Problem

Consider a dataset in CSV format that includes several date columns: founded_at, first_funding_at, and last_funding_at. For example, here’s a snippet of what your data might look like:

You might aim to split these dates into components like year, week, day, quarter, day of week, week of year, and a flag for weekends. You may encounter errors, such as a KeyError, if the code is not implemented correctly.

The Solution

We’ll break the solution down into manageable steps. Here’s how to correctly split the dates in your DataFrame:

Step 1: Read the Dataset

First, ensure that you read your CSV file correctly using pandas. Make sure to parse the date columns properly:
