Can anyone Kindly help please? I'm trying to remove three of the first characters within the string using the statement:
Data['COUNTRY_CODE'] = Data['COUNTRY1'].str[3:]
This will create a new column after removing the first three values of the string. However, I do not want this to be applied to all of the values within the same column so was hoping there would be a way to use a conditional statement such as 'Where' in order to only change the desired strings?
I assume you are using pandas so your condition check can be like:
condition_mask = Data['COL_YOU_WANT_TO_CHECK'] == 'SOME CONDITION'
Your new column can be created as:
# Assuming you want the first 3 chars as COUNTRY_CODE
Data.loc[condition_mask, 'COUNTRY_CODE'] = Data['COUNTRY1'].str[:3]
