Rolling Maximum Value with Half-Hourly Data
Rolling Maximum Value with Half-Hourly Data In this article, we will explore how to calculate the maximum daily value of a half-hourly dataset, where the data range is shifted by 14.5 hours to align with the desired day of interest. Problem Statement We have a dataset with half-hourly records and two time series columns: Local_Time_Dt (date-time) and Value (float). The task is to extract the maximum daily value between “9:30” of the previous day and “09:00” of the current day, instead of the traditional range from midnight to 11:30 PM.
