Extracting Numeric Values from Strings in Python with Pandas

In the realm of data manipulation, encountering strings that contain integers along with letters can be a common challenge, especially when working with datasets. A typical scenario is when you have account numbers that contain both digits and letters, such as 73101P. If your objective is to isolate the numeric part for further analysis or conversion to numeric values, this blog will guide you through the necessary steps to achieve that using Python's Pandas library.

Problem Definition

Imagine you have a dataset represented as a Pandas DataFrame. In this dataset, the account_number column includes a mix of string representations, with elements such as '5721-ES', '73101K', and '1101'. Your goal is to extract only the numbers from these strings to facilitate numerical operations later on.

Example DataFrame

Here's a glimpse of the DataFrame you're working with:

Proposed Solution

To efficiently extract the numeric values from the account_number strings, you can leverage the findall() method provided by Pandas. This method will help you identify and extract all digits within each string, allowing you to construct a new string consisting purely of numbers.

Steps to Extract Numeric Values

Utilize the findall() method: This method accepts a regex pattern to find occurrences of digits (\d).

Join the found digits: After extracting the numbers, you can concatenate them back into a single string.

Convert to Integer: Finally, you can convert the joined string representation of numbers into an integer type.

Implementation

Here’s how the code to achieve this looks:

Output

After executing the above code, you will achieve the desired output, displaying only the numeric values in the account_number column:

Conclusion

Extracting numeric values from mixed strings is a straightforward task when you utilize the power of Pandas. By implementing the findall() alongside string joining and type conversion, you can efficiently clean your dataset and prepare it for numerical operations. Now, whether you’re preparing for data analysis or financial computations, you have the tools needed to maintain a tidy dataset.

Feel free to try the above methods in your own projects and see how they help streamline your data processing tasks!
