### Issue

Not able to splice data according to date index. I would like to obtain data on `'2020-07-20'`
This script first read output.csv, then create `DataFrame` and place column 'BidClose', and at last print out specific date range of data `AskClose` (which is now failed)

### Solution

In order to splice data with data[start:end] format where `start`,`end` is date range, data has to be first sorted.
`data.sort_index(inplace=True)`

```py
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import time

datafile = 'output.csv'
data = pd.read_csv(datafile, index_col = 'Date')

# Selects the columns
close = data['BidClose']
askClose = data['AskClose']
# Converts the date strings in the index into pandas datetime format:
close.index = pd.to_datetime(close.index)
askClose.index = pd.to_datetime(askClose.index)

priceSma_df = pd.DataFrame({
      'BidClose' : close,
      'AskClose' : askClose
     })

print(priceSma_df['2020-07-20':'2020-07-20']['AskClose']) #<-- this line failed, shows Empty DataFrame

```

### Datafile

This is the data file `output.csv`

```html
