PySpark SQL Functions' dayofmonth(~) method extracts the day component of each column value, which can be of type date or a date string.

Parameters

1. col | string or Column

The date column from which to extract the day of the month.

Return Value

A Column object of integers.

Examples

Consider the following PySpark DataFrame with some datetime values:

import datetime
df = spark.createDataFrame([["Alex", datetime.date(1995,12,16)], ["Bob", datetime.date(1995,5,9)]], ["name", "birthday"])
df.show()
+----+----------+
|name| birthday|
+----+----------+
|Alex|1995-12-16|
| Bob|1995-05-09|
+----+----------+

Extracting the day component of datetime values in PySpark DataFrame

To extract the day component of date values:

from pyspark.sql import functions as F
df.select(F.dayofmonth("birthday").alias("day")).show()
+---+
|day|
+---+
| 16|
| 9|
+---+

Here, we are assigning a label to the Column returned by dayofmonth(~) using alias(~).

Extracting the day component of date strings in PySpark DataFrame

To extract the day component of date strings:

df = spark.createDataFrame([["Alex", "1995-12-16"], ["Bob", "1990-05-06"]], ["name", "birthday"])
df.select(F.dayofmonth("birthday").alias("day")).show()
+---+
|day|
+---+
| 16|
| 9|
