Convert column to timestamp – Pandas Dataframe

For the first format you can simply pass to_datetime, for the latter you need to explicitly describe the date format (see the table of available directives in the python docs):

In [21]: df
Out[21]:
                   col1           col2
0  04-APR-2018 11:04:29  2018040415203

In [22]: pd.to_datetime(df.col1)
Out[22]:
0   2018-04-04 11:04:29
Name: col1, dtype: datetime64[ns]

In [23]: pd.to_datetime(df.col2, format="%Y%m%d%H%M%S")
Out[23]:
0   2018-04-04 15:20:03
Name: col2, dtype: datetime64[ns]
