I read some weather data from a .csv
file as a dataframe named "weather". The problem is that the data type of one of the columns is object
. This is weird, as it indicates temperature. How do I change it to having a float
data type? I tried to_numeric
, but it can't parse it.
weather.info()
weather.head()
<class 'pandas.core.frame.DataFrame'>
DatetimeIndex: 304 entries, 2017-01-01 to 2017-10-31
Data columns (total 2 columns):
Temp 304 non-null object
Rain 304 non-null float64
dtypes: float64(1), object(1)
memory usage: 17.1+ KB
Temp Rain
Date
2017-01-01 12.4 0.0
2017-02-01 11 0.6
2017-03-01 10.4 0.6
2017-04-01 10.9 0.2
2017-05-01 13.2 0.0
pandas.Series.astype
You can do something like this :
weather["Temp"] = weather.Temp.astype(float)
You can also use pd.to_numeric
that will convert the column from object to float
Example :
s = pd.Series(['apple', '1.0', '2', -3]) print(pd.to_numeric(s, errors='ignore')) print("=========================") print(pd.to_numeric(s, errors='coerce'))
Output:
0 apple 1 1.0 2 2 3 -3 ========================= dtype: object 0 NaN 1 1.0 2 2.0 3 -3.0 dtype: float64
In your case you can do something like this:
weather["Temp"] = pd.to_numeric(weather.Temp, errors='coerce')
convert_objects
Example is as follows
>> pd.Series([1,2,3,4,'.']).convert_objects(convert_numeric=True) 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 NaN dtype: float64
You can use this as follows:
weather["Temp"] = weather.Temp.convert_objects(convert_numeric=True)
NaN
... so be careful while using it.I tried all methods suggested here but sadly none worked. Instead, found this to be working:
df['column'] = pd.to_numeric(df['column'],errors = 'coerce')
And then check it using:
print(df.info())
I eventually used:
weather["Temp"] = weather["Temp"].convert_objects(convert_numeric=True)
It worked just fine, except that I got the following message.
C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\ipykernel_launcher.py:3: FutureWarning:
convert_objects is deprecated. Use the data-type specific converters pd.to_datetime, pd.to_timedelta and pd.to_numeric.
您可以尝试以下操作:
df['column'] = df['column'].map(lambda x: float(x))
First check your data cuz you may get an error if you have ',' instead of '.' if so, you need to transform every ',' into '.' with a function :
def replacee(s):
i=str(s).find(',')
if(i>0):
return s[:i] + '.' + s[i+1:]
else :
return s
then you need to apply this function on every row in your column :
dfOPA['Montant']=dfOPA['Montant'].apply(replacee)
then the convert function will work fine :
dfOPA['Montant'] = pd.to_numeric(dfOPA['Montant'],errors = 'coerce')
Eg, For Converting $40,000.00 object
to 40000 int
or float
32
Follow this step by step:
$40,000.00 ---(**1**. remove $)---> 40,000.00 ---(**2**. remove , comma)---> 40000.00 ---(**3**. remove . dot)---> 4000000 ---(**4**. remove empty space)---> 4000000 ---(**5**. Remove NA Values)---> 4000000 ---(**6**. now this is object type so, convert to int using .astype(int) )---> 4000000 ---(**7**. divide by 100)---> 40000
Implementing code In Pandas
table1["Price"] = table1["Price"].str.replace('$','')<br>
table1["Price"] = table1["Price"].str.replace(',','')<br>
table1["Price"] = table1["Price"].str.replace('.','')<br>
table1["Price"] = table1["Price"].str.replace(' ','')
table1 = table1.dropna()<br>
table1["Price"] = table1["Price"].astype(int)<br>
table1["Price"] = table1["Price"] / 100<br>
Finally it's done
