How to replace multiple values in a Pandas DataFrame?

This recipe helps you replace multiple values in a Pandas DataFrame

Recipe Objective

Have you ever tried to change multiple values in a dataframe at once? We can do this very easily by replacing the values with another using a simple python code.

So this recipe is a short example on how to replace multiple values in a dataframe. Let's get started.

Step 1 - Import the library

import pandas as pd import numpy as np

Here we have imported Pandas and Numpy which are very general libraries.

Step 2 - Setup the Data

Let us create a simple dataset and convert it to a dataframe. This is a dataset of city with different features in it like City_level, City_pool, Rating, City_port and City_Temperature. We have converted this dataset into a dataframe with its features as columns.

city_data = {'city_level': [1, 3, 1, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 3], 'city_pool' : ['y','y','n','y','n','n','y','n','n','y'], 'Rating': [1, 5, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 5, 3, 4], 'City_port': [0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1], 'city_temperature': ['low', 'medium', 'medium', 'high', 'low','low', 'medium', 'medium', 'high', 'low']} df = pd.DataFrame(city_data, columns = ['city_level', 'city_pool', 'Rating', 'City_port', 'city_temperature'])

Step 3 - Replacing the values and Printing the dataset

So let us consider that first we want to print the initial dataset and then we want to replace digit 1 (where ever it is present in the dataset) with the string 'one'. Finally we want to view the new dataset with the changes.

So for this we have to use replace function which have 3 important parameters in it.

  • to_replace : In this we have to pass the data of any type(string, int, floatetc) which we want to replace.
  • value : In this we have to pass the data of any type(string, int, floatetc) which we want to insert in the place of the data we want to replace.
  • inplace : It is a boolean parameter with default as False. If true it will keep the changes that is done by the function.

print(df) df = df.replace(1, 'One') print(); print(df)

Step 5 - Observing the changes in the dataset

Once we run the above code snippet, we will see that the all the 1s in the dataset will be changed to 'one'.
