<h2>Problem Formulation</h2>
<p>Given the following DataFrame <code>df</code>:</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="python" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">import pandas as pd df = pd.DataFrame([{'A':1, 'B':2, 'C':2, 'D':4}, {'A':4, 'B':8, 'C':3, 'D':1}, {'A':2, 'B':7, 'C':1, 'D':2}, {'A':3, 'B':5, 'C':1, 'D':2}]) print(df) ''' A B C D
0 1 2 2 4
1 4 8 3 1
2 2 7 1 2
3 3 5 1 2 '''</pre>
<p class="has-global-color-8-background-color has-background"><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/1f4ac.png" alt="?" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> <strong>Challenge</strong>: How to apply a function <code>f</code> to each cell in the DataFrame? </p>
<p>For example, you may want to apply a function that replaces all odd values with the value <code>'odd'</code>.</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="python" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="16" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">import pandas as pd df = pd.DataFrame([{'A':1, 'B':2, 'C':2, 'D':4}, {'A':4, 'B':8, 'C':3, 'D':1}, {'A':2, 'B':7, 'C':1, 'D':2}, {'A':3, 'B':5, 'C':1, 'D':2}]) def f(cell): if cell%2 == 1: return 'odd' return cell # ... &lt;Apply Function f to each cell> ... print(df) ''' A B C D
0 odd 2 2 4
1 4 8 odd odd
2 2 odd odd 2
3 odd odd odd 2 '''</pre>
<h2>Solution: DataFrame applymap()</h2>
<p class="has-global-color-8-background-color has-background">The Pandas DataFrame <code>df.applymap()</code> method returns a new DataFrame where the function <code>f</code> is applied to each cell of the original DataFrame <code>df</code>. You can pass any function object as a single argument into the <code>df.applymap()</code> function, either defined as a lambda expression or a normal function.</p>
<h2>Example 1: Replace Odd Values in DataFrame</h2>
<p>Here’s an example where each cell of the DataFrame is checked against whether it is an odd value. If so, it is replaced with the string <code>'odd'</code>:</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="python" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">def f(cell): if cell%2 == 1: return 'odd' return cell df_new = df.applymap(f) print(df_new) ''' A B C D
0 odd 2 2 4
1 4 8 odd odd
2 2 odd odd 2
3 odd odd odd 2 '''
</pre>
<h2>Example 2: Create Two DataFrames with Even and Odd Values Replaced</h2>
<p>A slightly advanced example uses two <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://blog.finxter.com/a-simple-introduction-of-the-lambda-function-in-python/" data-type="post" data-id="2701" target="_blank">lambda functions</a> to create two new DataFrames where one has all odd and the other has all even values replaced:</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="python" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="10,11" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">import pandas as pd df = pd.DataFrame([{'A':1, 'B':2, 'C':2, 'D':4}, {'A':4, 'B':8, 'C':3, 'D':1}, {'A':2, 'B':7, 'C':1, 'D':2}, {'A':3, 'B':5, 'C':1, 'D':2}]) df_even = df.applymap(lambda x: 'odd' if x%2 else x)
df_odd = df.applymap(lambda x: x if x%2 else 'even') print(df_even) ''' A B C D
0 odd 2 2 4
1 4 8 odd odd
2 2 odd odd 2
3 odd odd odd 2 ''' print(df_odd) ''' A B C D
0 1 even even even
1 even even 3 1
2 even 7 1 even
3 3 5 1 even '''</pre>
<p>We used the concept of a <strong><em>ternary operator</em></strong> to concisely define the replacement function using the keyword <code><a href="https://blog.finxter.com/python-ternary-lambda/" data-type="post" data-id="10752" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lambda</a></code> to create a function object “on the fly”. </p>

<p>This tutorial idea was proposed by <a href="https://blog.finxter.com/email-academy/" data-type="page" data-id="12278" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Finxter student</a> <strong>Kyriakos</strong>. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/14.0.0/72x72/2764.png" alt="❤" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>
