Simultaneous Replacement
The method described in the previous chapter allows you to replace specific values in one column 'manually'. But we need to perform replacements in 4 columns, which means we need to repeat the actions at least 3 more times.
However, pandas
predicted that task, too. Let's consider the method that allows to perform replacement for all dataframe columns.
1df.where(condition, other = values_to_replace, inplace = False)
Explanation: condition
is the first parameter, if True
, then keeps original values, if False
, then replaces them by values specified in the other
parameter. inplace
- if True
, then rewrites the data. If you want to 'revert' the condition to opposite, place the ~
symbol in front of it. For instance, let's replace all the zeros with the word null
.
12345678# Importing the library import pandas as pd # Reading the file df = pd.read_csv('https://codefinity-content-media.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/f2947b09-5f0d-4ad9-992f-ec0b87cd4b3f/data1.csv') # Replace 0s by words 'null' df = df.where(~(df == 0), other = 'null') print(df)
As you can see, there are many 'null'
s appeared in the dataframe. If you remove the ~
symbol within the .where()
method, then all values but 0
will be replaced to 'null'
.
