pandas.api.extensions.ExtensionArray.shift — pandas 2.2.3 documentation (original) (raw)

ExtensionArray.shift(periods=1, fill_value=None)[source]#

Shift values by desired number.

Newly introduced missing values are filled withself.dtype.na_value.

Parameters:

periodsint, default 1

The number of periods to shift. Negative values are allowed for shifting backwards.

fill_valueobject, optional

The scalar value to use for newly introduced missing values. The default is self.dtype.na_value.

Returns:

ExtensionArray

Shifted.

Notes

If self is empty or periods is 0, a copy of self is returned.

If periods > len(self), then an array of size len(self) is returned, with all values filled withself.dtype.na_value.

For 2-dimensional ExtensionArrays, we are always shifting along axis=0.

Examples

arr = pd.array([1, 2, 3]) arr.shift(2) [, , 1] Length: 3, dtype: Int64
