通过与其他数据框列映射来更改数据框列名称，Python 3.6

Question

I want to change columns name of Dataframe "Data" if column matching with XML_Data['conceptRef'], columns name contains in XML_Data['Dimension_Name_EN']

Data.columns

Index(['MEASURE', 'INDEX', 'STAGE', 'SOURCE', 'DESTINATION', 'FREQUENCY', 'VALUE', 'DATE'], dtype='object')

XML_Data:

   Order                codelist   conceptRef    Dimension_Name_EN
0      1      CL_PPI_SOP_MEASURE      MEASURE              Measure
1      2        CL_PPI_SOP_INDEX        INDEX                Index
2      3        CL_PPI_SOP_STAGE        STAGE  Stage of Production
3      4       CL_PPI_SOP_SOURCE       SOURCE               Source
4      5  CL_PPI_SOP_DESTINATION  DESTINATION          Destination

If column ('FREQUENCY', 'VALUE', 'DATE') not present in other dataframe then keep as it is.

Answer 1

Use rename by dictionary created by zip columns of XML_Data DataFrame:

d = dict(zip(XML_Data['conceptRef'], XML_Data['Dimension_Name_EN']))
Data = Data.rename(columns=d)
