DataFrames: Column operations

You have a dataset of product sales, file sales.csv (Source: IBM1).


1. Load the data from ‘sales.csv’ file into a ‘pandas’ sales variable. Use the ‘variable explorer’ to
check your result. You should have a DataFrame of size (88475, 11).

Test yourself:
# All statements below should be True
print(sales.shape == (88475, 11))

2. Use the columns.values DataFrame property and print the results. Your result should be a
list of the column names as follows.

['Retailer_country' 'Order_method_type' 'Retailer_type' 'Product_line'


'Product_type' 'Product' 'Year' 'Quarter' 'Revenue' 'Quantity'
'Gross_margin']

3. Rename the column 'Order_method_type' into 'Order_method' in the sales DataFrame.


Print the columns’ names and your result should be as follows.

['Retailer_country' 'Order_method' 'Retailer_type' 'Product_line'


'Product_type' 'Product' 'Year' 'Quarter' 'Revenue' 'Quantity'
'Gross_margin']

4. Select the columns 'Product_line', 'Product_type', 'Product' and save into a product variable.
Use the ‘variable explorer’ to check your result. You also can inspect first 5 rows using the
head() method, and print the results as below. You should have a DataFrame of size (88475, 3).

Head:
Product_line Product_type Product
0 Camping Equipment Cooking Gear TrailChef Deluxe Cook Set
1 Camping Equipment Cooking Gear TrailChef Double Flame
2 Camping Equipment Tents Star Dome
3 Camping Equipment Tents Star Gazer 2
4 Camping Equipment Sleeping Bags Hibernator Lite

Test yourself:
# All statements below should be True
print(product.shape == (88475, 3))

5. Rename the column 'Product_line' into 'Product_category' in the product DataFrame.
What do you observe? Use the ‘variable explorer’ to check your result. Print the columns’
names and your result should be as follows.

['Product_category' 'Product_type' 'Product']

6. Change column order from ['Product_category', 'Product_type', 'Product'] to ['Product_type',


'Product', 'Product_category']. Print the columns’ names and your result should be as follows.

['Product_type' 'Product' 'Product_category']

7. Remove (drop) columns 'Product_line', 'Product_type', 'Product' in the sales DataFrame. Use
the columns DataFrame property and print the results as follows. . You should have a
DataFrame of size (88475, 8).

['Retailer_country' 'Order_method' 'Retailer_type' 'Year' 'Quarter'


'Revenue' 'Quantity' 'Gross_margin']

Test yourself:
# All statements below should be True
print(sales.shape == (88475, 8))

8. Now add the product DataFrame to the sales DataFrame. Print the column names and use
the ‘variable explorer’ to check your result: sales should now be a DataFrame of size (88475,
9).

['Retailer_country' 'Order_method' 'Retailer_type' 'Year' 'Quarter'


'Revenue' 'Quantity' 'Gross_margin' 'P_type']

Test yourself:
# All statements below should be True
print(sales.shape == (88475, 9))
