Pandas: Using index set value in a specific cell in a given dataframe
Write a Pandas program to set value in a specific cell in a given dataframe using index.
Test Data:
0 s001 V Alberto Franco 15/05/2002 35 street1 t1 1 s002 V Gino Mcneill 17/05/2002 32 street2 t2 2 s003 VI Ryan Parkes 16/02/1999 33 street3 t3 3 s001 VI Eesha Hinton 25/09/1998 30 street1 t4 4 s002 V Gino Mcneill 11/05/2002 31 street2 t5 5 s004 VI David Parkes 15/09/1997 32 street4 t6
Sample Solution:
Python Code :
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({
'school_code': ['s001','s002','s003','s001','s002','s004'],
'class': ['V', 'V', 'VI', 'VI', 'V', 'VI'],
'name': ['Alberto Franco','Gino Mcneill','Ryan Parkes', 'Eesha Hinton', 'Gino Mcneill', 'David Parkes'],
'date_of_birth': ['15/05/2002','17/05/2002','16/02/1999','25/09/1998','11/05/2002','15/09/1997'],
'weight': [35, 32, 33, 30, 31, 32]},
index = ['t1', 't2', 't3', 't4', 't5', 't6'])
print("Original DataFrame:")
print(df)
print("\nSet school code 's004' to 's005':")
df.at['t6', 'school_code'] = 's005'
print(df)
print("\nSet date_of_birth of 'Alberto Franco' to '16/05/2002':")
df.at['t1', 'date_of_birth'] = '16/05/2002'
print(df)
Sample Output:
Original DataFrame: school_code class name date_of_birth weight t1 s001 V Alberto Franco 15/05/2002 35 t2 s002 V Gino Mcneill 17/05/2002 32 t3 s003 VI Ryan Parkes 16/02/1999 33 t4 s001 VI Eesha Hinton 25/09/1998 30 t5 s002 V Gino Mcneill 11/05/2002 31 t6 s004 VI David Parkes 15/09/1997 32 Set school code 's004' to 's005': school_code class name date_of_birth weight t1 s001 V Alberto Franco 15/05/2002 35 t2 s002 V Gino Mcneill 17/05/2002 32 t3 s003 VI Ryan Parkes 16/02/1999 33 t4 s001 VI Eesha Hinton 25/09/1998 30 t5 s002 V Gino Mcneill 11/05/2002 31 t6 s005 VI David Parkes 15/09/1997 32 Set date_of_birth of 'Alberto Franco' to '16/05/2002': school_code class name date_of_birth weight t1 s001 V Alberto Franco 16/05/2002 35 t2 s002 V Gino Mcneill 17/05/2002 32 t3 s003 VI Ryan Parkes 16/02/1999 33 t4 s001 VI Eesha Hinton 25/09/1998 30 t5 s002 V Gino Mcneill 11/05/2002 31 t6 s005 VI David Parkes 15/09/1997 32
