Flag holidays

This processor identifies whether a date is a school holiday, a bank holiday or a weekend.

It takes as input a Date column and outputs 3 boolean columns :

• *school: whether this date is a school holiday or not. (FR)

• *bank: whether this date is a bank holiday or not. (FR,US,IN,DE,ES)

• *weekend: whether this date is a weekend or not.

It’s worth noting that a Date in DSS corresponds to a point in time, just like a timestamp. Conversely, a holiday is always defined by a timezone-less tuple (year,month,day). Consequently, a timezone must be provided in order to convert this timezone-less representation into a Date.

Although the timezone can be specified explicitly, it may be more convenient to use the country’s default timezone.

Country	Default timezone
DE	Europe/Berlin
ES	Europe/Madrid
FR	Europe/Paris
IN	Asia/Kolkata
US	America/New_York

If you need to retrieve bank holidays and/or weekends in other countries, please use the “Holidays” plugin.
