In this PySpark tutorial, we dive deep into the date_format() function and how to apply it in complex scenarios within Databricks. We'll walk through various examples that demonstrate how to reformat dates, extract specific parts of a date (like the year, month, or day of the week), and combine multiple transformations in a PySpark DataFrame.
What You’ll Learn:
How to change date formats in PySpark using date_format().
How to extract and display the year, month name, and day of the week from a date.
Advanced date manipulation techniques in PySpark.
