'Pandas create graph from Date and Time while them being in different columns
My data looks like this:
Creation Day Time St1 Time St2
0 28.01.2022 14:18:00 15:12:00
1 28.01.2022 14:35:00 16:01:00
2 29.01.2022 00:07:00 03:04:00
3 30.01.2022 17:03:00 22:12:00
It represents parts being at a given station. What I now need is something that counts how many Columns have the same Day and Hour e.g. How many parts were at the same station for a given Hour. Here 2 Where at Station 1 for the 28th and the timespan 14-15.
Because in the end I want a bar graph that show production speed. Additionally later in the project I want to highlight Parts that havent moved for >2hrs.
Is it practical to create a datetime object for every Station (I have 5 in total)? Or is there a much simpler way to do this?
FYI I import this data from an excel sheet

I found the solution. As they are just strings I can just add them and reformat the result with pd.to_datetime().
Example:
df["Time St1"] = pd.to_datetime(
df["Creation Day"] + ' ' + df["Time St1"],
infer_datetime_format=False, format='%d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S'
)
