Data Visualization with Python

Cheat Sheet : Data Preprocessing Tasks in Pandas
Task Syntax Description Example
Read data from a CSV file into a
Load CSV data pd.read_csv('filename.csv') df_can=pd.read_csv('data.csv')
Pandas DataFrame
Handling Missing
df.dropna() Drop rows with missing values df_can.dropna()
Values
Fill missing values with a specified
df.fillna(value) df_can.fillna(0)
value
Removing Duplicates df.drop_duplicates() Remove duplicate rows df_can.drop_duplicates()
df.rename(columns={'old_name':
Renaming Columns 'new_name'})
Rename one or more columns df_can.rename(columns={'Age': 'Years'})

Selecting Columns df['column_name'] or Select a single column df_can.Age or df_can['Age]'

df.column_name
df[['col1', 'col2']] Select multiple columns df_can[['Name', 'Age']]
Filtering Rows df[df['column'] > value] Filter rows based on a condition df_can[df_can['Age'] > 30]
Applying Functions to Apply a function to transform values
df['column'].apply(function_name) df_can['Age'].apply(lambda x: x + 1)
Columns in a column
Creating New Create a new column with values df_can['Total'] = df_can['Quantity'] *
df['new_column'] = expression
Columns derived from existing ones df_can['Price']
Grouping and df.groupby('column').agg({'col1': Group rows by a column and apply df_can.groupby('Category').agg({'Total':
Aggregating 'sum', 'col2': 'mean'}) aggregate functions 'mean'})
df.sort_values('column',
Sorting Rows ascending=True/False)
Sort rows based on a column df_can.sort_values('Date', ascending=True)

Displaying First n Show the first n rows of the

df.head(n) df_can.head(3)
Rows DataFrame
Displaying Last n
df.tail(n) Show the last n rows of the DataFrame df_can.tail(3)
Rows
Checking for Null Check for null values in the
df.isnull() df_can.isnull()
Values DataFrame
Selecting Rows by
df.iloc[index] Select rows based on integer index df_can.iloc[3]
Index
df.iloc[start:end] Select rows in a specified range df_can.iloc[2:5]
Selecting Rows by
df.loc[label] Select rows based on label/index name df_can.loc['Label']
Label
Select rows in a specified label/index
df.loc[start:end] df_can.loc['Age':'Quantity']
range
Generates descriptive statistics for
Summary Statistics df.describe() df_can.describe()
numerical columns
