Let's discuss ways of creating NaN values in the Pandas Dataframe. There are various ways to create NaN values in Pandas dataFrame. Those are:
Method 1: Using NumPy
Python3
Output:
Method 2: Importing the CSV file having blank instances Consider the below csv file named "Book1.csv":
Code:
Python3
Output:
You will get Nan values for blank instances.
Method 3: Applying to_numeric function
Example:
Python3
- Using NumPy
- Importing csv file having blank values
- Applying to_numeric function
Method 1: Using NumPy
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
num = {'number': [1,2,np.nan,6,7,np.nan,np.nan]}
df = pd.DataFrame(num)
df
Output:
Method 2: Importing the CSV file having blank instances Consider the below csv file named "Book1.csv":
Code:
# import pandas
import pandas as pd
# read file
df = pd.read_csv("Book1.csv")
# print values
df
Output:
You will get Nan values for blank instances.Method 3: Applying to_numeric function
to_numeric function converts arguments to a numeric type.
Example:
import pandas as pd
num = {'data': [1,"hjghjd",3,"jxsh"]}
df = pd.DataFrame(num)
# this will convert non-numeric
# values into NaN values
df = pd.to_numeric(df["data"], errors='coerce')
df
Output:
