Dataframe tips

 You can get the type of the entries of your column with map:

df['ABC'].map(type)

So to filter on all values, which are not stored as str, you can use:

df['ABC'].map(type) != str

If however you just want to check if some of the rows contain a string, that has a special format (like a date), you can check this with a regex like:

df['ABC'].str.match('[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}')

But of course, that is no exact date check. E.g. it would also return True for values like 0000-13-91, but this was only meant to give you an idea anyways.
