Format the values of a dataframe column from integer to string

Question

Currently I have a dataframe with columns but for this purpose, I'll just list the columns of importance. Basically I have a dataframe like this:

id  type
1   1
2   1
3   2
4   2
5   1

But I want to format the integers such that

1 = 'One'
2 = 'Two'

But I don't want to change the int to a string like using pd.replace, but format it instead.

Answer 1

this is random but I've been trying to contact you via KVR Audio but I'm not a member for long enough there. Just wondering how I can contact you?

Answer 2

you can actually use replace function on pandas. For example,

df['type'].replace(1, 'one')

then, you can try replace all the keyword such as for two, three, and so on.
