Selecting pandas data using “iloc”

The iloc indexer for Pandas Dataframe is used for integer-location based indexing / selection by position.

# Single selections using iloc and DataFrame
# Rows:
data.iloc[0] # first row of data frame (Aleshia Tomkiewicz) - Note a Series data type output.
data.iloc[1] # second row of data frame (Evan Zigomalas)
data.iloc[-1] # last row of data frame (Mi Richan)
# Columns:
data.iloc[:,0] # first column of data frame (first_name)
data.iloc[:,1] # second column of data frame (last_name)
data.iloc[:,-1] # last column of data frame (id)

# Multiple row and column selections using iloc and DataFrame
data.iloc[0:5] # first five rows of dataframe
data.iloc[:, 0:2] # first two columns of data frame with all rows
data.iloc[[0,3,6,24], [0,5,6]] # 1st, 4th, 7th, 25th row + 1st 6th 7th columns.
data.iloc[0:5, 5:8] # first 5 rows and 5th, 6th, 7th columns of data frame (county -> phone1).

Selecting pandas data using “loc”

The Pandas loc indexer can be used with DataFrames for two different use cases:

a.) Selecting rows by label/index
b.) Selecting rows with a boolean / conditional lookup

# Select rows with index values 'Andrade' and 'Veness', with all columns between 'city' and 'email'
data.loc[['Andrade', 'Veness'], 'city':'email']
# Select same rows, with just 'first_name', 'address' and 'city' columns
data.loc['Andrade':'Veness', ['first_name', 'address', 'city']]
 
# Change the index to be based on the 'id' column
data.set_index('id', inplace=True)
# select the row with 'id' = 487
data.loc[487]

# Select rows with first name Antonio, # and all columns between 'city' and 'email'
data.loc[data['first_name'] == 'Antonio', 'city':'email']
 
# Select rows where the email column ends with 'hotmail.com', include all columns
data.loc[data['email'].str.endswith("hotmail.com")]   
 
# Select rows with last_name equal to some values, all columns
data.loc[data['first_name'].isin(['France', 'Tyisha', 'Eric'])]   
       
# Select rows with first name Antonio AND hotmail email addresses
data.loc[data['email'].str.endswith("gmail.com") & (data['first_name'] == 'Antonio')] 
 
# select rows with id column between 100 and 200, and just return 'postal' and 'web' columns
data.loc[(data['id'] > 100) & (data['id'] <= 200), ['postal', 'web']] 
 
# A lambda function that yields True/False values can also be used.
# Select rows where the company name has 4 words in it.
data.loc[data['company_name'].apply(lambda x: len(x.split(' ')) == 4)] 
 
# Selections can be achieved outside of the main .loc for clarity:
# Form a separate variable with your selections:
idx = data['company_name'].apply(lambda x: len(x.split(' ')) == 4)
# Select only the True values in 'idx' and only the 3 columns specified:
data.loc[idx, ['email', 'first_name', 'company']]

Method #1: Using DataFrame.astype()

# importing pandas as pd 
import pandas as pd 

# sample dataframe 
df = pd.DataFrame({ 
  'A': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 
  'B': ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'], 
  'C': [1.1, '1.0', '1.3', 2, 5] }) 

# converting all columns to string type 
df = df.astype(str) 
print(df.dtypes) 

# importing pandas as pd 
import pandas as pd 

# sample dataframe 
df = pd.DataFrame({ 
  'A': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 
  'B': ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'], 
  'C': [1.1, '1.0', '1.3', 2, 5] }) 

# using dictionary to convert specific columns 
convert_dict = {'A': int, 
        'C': float
      } 

df = df.astype(convert_dict) 
print(df.dtypes) 

Method #2: Using DataFrame.apply()

We can pass pandas.to_numeric, pandas.to_datetime and pandas.to_timedelta as argument to apply() function to change the datatype of one or more columns to numeric, datetime and timedelta respectively.

# importing pandas as pd 
import pandas as pd 

# sample dataframe 
df = pd.DataFrame({ 
  'A': [1, 2, 3, '4', '5'], 
  'B': ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'], 
  'C': [1.1, '2.1', 3.0, '4.1', '5.1'] }) 

# using apply method 
df[['A', 'C']] = df[['A', 'C']].apply(pd.to_numeric) 
print(df.dtypes) 

Method #3: Using DataFrame.infer_objects()

# importing pandas as pd 
import pandas as pd 

# sample dataframe 
df = pd.DataFrame({ 
  'A': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], 
  'B': ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'], 
  'C': [1.1, 2.1, 3.0, 4.1, 5.1] 
  }, dtype ='object') 

# converting datatypes 
df = df.infer_objects() 
print(df.dtypes)
