atoti.date_shift()#

atoti.date_shift(measure, on, /, *, offset, method='exact')#

Return a measure equal to the passed measure shifted to another date.

Parameters:

measure (VariableMeasureConvertible) – The measure to shift.
on (Hierarchy) – The hierarchy to shift on. Only hierarchies with their last level of type date (or datetime) are supported. If one of the member of the hierarchy is N/A their shifted value will always be None.
offset (str) – The period to shift by as specified by Java’s Period.parse().
method (Literal['exact', 'previous', 'next', 'interpolate']) –
Determine the value to use when there is no member at the shifted date:
- exact: None.
- previous: Value at the previous existing date.
- next: Value at the next existing date.
- interpolate: Linear interpolation of the values at the previous and next existing dates.

Return type:

Explanations for values:

Exact
- The value for 2020-08-31 is taken from 2020-09-30 because there is no 31st of September.
Exact in the past
- The value for 2020-10-31 is taken from 2020-09-30 for the same reason.
Interpolate
- 10.00, 21.00, 21.00, 9.00: no interpolation is required since there is an exact match.
- 15.31: linear interpolation of 2020-09-01’s 10 and 2020-09-30’s 21 at 2020-08-15.
- 8.03: linear interpolation of 2020-10-01’s 9 and 2020-10-31’s 8 at 2020-09-30.
- ∅: no interpolation possible because there are no records after 2020-10-31.
