BUG: NotImplementedError: Prefix not defined when slicing offset with loc · Issue #46671 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)

Pandas version checks

• I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
• I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.
• I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

import numpy as np import pandas as pd

d = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(10, 1)) d.set_index(pd.date_range('01-01-2022', periods=10), inplace=True) d = d.asfreq(pd.DateOffset(days=1)) d.loc['2022-01-01': '2022-01-03']

Issue Description

As it seems, starting from version 1.4 onward, if the date index is of type offset then when trying to run loc operations raises NotImplementedError: Prefix not defined.

Searching on the web if people had a similar issue but couldn't find much, closest thing seems to be issue #26921.

Expected Behavior

Slicing the date index on specified date points in loc.
