In this tutorial, we are going to see how to make a column of names to uppercase in DataFrame. Let's see different ways to achieve our goal.
Example
We can assign a column to the DataFrame by making it uppercase using the upper() method.
Let's see the code.
# importing the pandas package
import pandas as pd
# data for DataFrame
data = {
'Name': ['Hafeez', 'Aslan', 'Kareem'],
'Age': [19, 21, 18],
'Profession': ['Developer', 'Engineer', 'Artist']
}
# creating DataFrame
data_frame = pd.DataFrame(data)
# displaying the DataFrame
print('---------------------Before-------------------')
print(data_frame)
print()
# making the Name column strings to upper case
data_frame['Name'] = data_frame['Name'].str.upper()
# displaying the DataFrame
print('---------------------After-------------------')
print(data_frame)Output
If you run the above program, you will get the following results.
---------------------Before------------------- Name Age Profession 0 Hafeez 19 Developer 1 Aslan 21 Engineer 2 Kareem 18 Artist ---------------------After------------------- Name Age Profession 0 HAFEEZ 19 Developer 1 ASLAN 21 Engineer 2 KAREEM 18 Artist
Example
We can also achieve the same thing using apply() method of DataFrame. Let's see the related code.
# importing the pandas package
import pandas as pd
# data for DataFrame
data = {
'Name': ['Hafeez', 'Aslan', 'Kareem'],
'Age': [19, 21, 18],
'Profession': ['Developer', 'Engineer', 'Artist']
}
# creating DataFrame
data_frame = pd.DataFrame(data)
# displaying the DataFrame
print('---------------------Before-------------------')
print(data_frame)
print()
# making the Name column strings to upper case
data_frame['Name'] = data_frame['Name'].apply(lambda name : name.upper())
# displaying the DataFrame
print('---------------------After-------------------')
print(data_frame)Output
If you run the above program, you will get the following results.
---------------------Before------------------- Name Age Profession 0 Hafeez 19 Developer 1 Aslan 21 Engineer 2 Kareem 18 Artist ---------------------After------------------- Name Age Profession 0 HAFEEZ 19 Developer 1 ASLAN 21 Engineer 2 KAREEM 18 Artist
