rename row in pandas code example

Example 1: pandas dataframe column rename

>>> df = pd.DataFrame({"A": [1, 2, 3], "B": [4, 5, 6]})
>>> df.rename(columns={"A": "a", "B": "c"})
   a  c
0  1  4
1  2  5
2  3  6

Example 2: python: change column name

df = df.rename(columns = {'myvar':'myvar_new'})

Example 3: Renaming row value in pandas

# if the row value in column 'is_blue' is 1 
# Change the row value to 'Yes' 
# otherwise change it to 'No'
df['is_blue'] = df['is_blue'].apply(lambda x: 'Yes' if (x == 1) else 'No') 


# You can also use mapping to accomplish the same result
# Warning: Mapping only works once on the same column creates NaN's otherwise
df['is_blue'] = df['is_blue'].map({0: 'No', 1: 'Yes'})

Example 4: rename row pandas

>>> df.rename({1: 2, 2: 4}, axis='index')
   A  B
0  1  4
2  2  5
4  3  6
