I have a pandas data frame, with a column as follows:



df["Date"]
2015-04-11 00:00:00
2015-03-11 00:00:00
NaN
2014-11-15 00:00:00
its not available
2017-01-27 00:00:00
2016-05-21 00:00:00
was not detected
2015-09-16 00:00:00
incomplete
...


I would like to filter out only those rows that contain the dates.

Please let me know if there is a way to filter the dates. Thank you

          I'm assuming because they are mixed dates and strings that the column is full of object and not datetime datatype. Are there no actual times in your dataframe? If not (meaning they are all 00:00:00) you can do a partial string search for the 0's.



          df[df['Date'].str.contains('00:00:00')]
