How to Count and Remove Floats from a Pandas DataFrame Column

When working with data in Python, particularly using the Pandas library, you may encounter situations where some values in your DataFrame don't quite match your expectations. One common issue is having a column that, while technically of float type, actually contains floating-point numbers that are not meaningful for your analysis or use case.

In this post, we will discuss how to count the number of floats and integers in a specific column of a Pandas DataFrame and how to remove any rows that contain float values.

The Problem

Imagine you have a DataFrame similar to the example below:

ABC0.50.12.00.80.93.50.60.21.0In this example, column C contains both float and integer values. For instance, it has 2.0 and 3.5. If the floats in column C don't make sense for your analysis, you might want to:

Count how many floats or integers exist in column C.

Delete the rows that contain floats.

The Solution

To solve this problem, we can follow these steps using the Pandas library.

Step 1: Count Floats and Integers

To count the number of floats or integers, you can use the modulus operator. This helps to identify whether a number has a decimal part or not.

Count Integers: You can count integers by checking if the column values, when divided by 1, have a remainder of 0.

Count Floats: Similarly, to count floats, we can just check the numbers that don’t satisfy the integer condition.

Step 2: Filter the DataFrame

Once you have identified the floats, you can filter them out of your DataFrame. Here’s how you can implement this in code:

Step 3: Convert to Integer (Optional)

If you also wish to convert column C into integers after filtering, you can use the following line:

Final DataFrame

After applying these steps, your cleaned DataFrame will look like this:

ABC0.50.120.60.21Summary

In this post, we learned how to identify and count floats and integers in a specific column of a Pandas DataFrame, as well as how to remove rows containing those undesired values. By using the modulus operator, we can easily filter out rows with floating-point numbers.

Now you can ensure that your DataFrame only contains meaningful integer values, ready for further analysis!
