pandas to integer code example

Example 1: python: transform as type numeirc

df['myvar'] = df['myvar'].astype(str)   # Transform as character
df['myvar'] = df['myvar'].astype(float) # Transform as float
df['myvar'] = df['myvar'].astype(int)   # Transform as numeric

Example 2: make string numeric pandas

df['DataFrame Column'] = df['DataFrame Column'].astype(int)

Example 3: pandas change to numeric

>>> s = pd.Series(["8", 6, "7.5", 3, "0.9"]) # mixed string and numeric values
>>> s
0      8
1      6
2    7.5
3      3
4    0.9
dtype: object

>>> pd.to_numeric(s) # convert everything to float values
0    8.0
1    6.0
2    7.5
3    3.0
4    0.9
dtype: float64

Example 4: convert pandas series from str to int

df['DataFrame Column'] = pd.to_numeric(df['DataFrame Column'])
