In essence, the difference is that .loc allows label-based indexing, while .iloc allows position-based indexing. If you get confused by .loc and .iloc, keep in mind that .iloc is based on the index (starting with i) position, while .loc is based on the label (starting with l).
Mar 18, 2021 · 4. Another way is to get the row index and then use df.loc or df.at. # get row index 'label' from row number 'irow'. label = df.index.values[irow] df.at[label, 'COL_NAME'] = x. answered Dec 27, 2017 at 15:32. Karl I. 141 5. This is the best solution when you want to set multiple rows to the same value.
Your inital code didn't work because you didn't specify within the .iloc call which column you're selecting. The second code line you tried didn't work because you mixed integer location with column name, and .iloc only accepts integer location. If you don't know the column integer location, you can use Index.get_loc in place as suggested above ...
4. loc is label based indexing so basically looking up a value in a row, iloc is integer row based indexing, ix is a general method that first performs label based, if that fails then it falls to integer based. at is deprecated and it's advised you don't use that anymore.
10. I have been trying to select a particular set of columns from a dataset for all the rows. I tried something like below. train_features = train_df.loc [, [0,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18]] I want to mention that all rows are inclusive but only need the numbered columns. Is there any better way to approach this.
Aug 27, 2015 · One option is to find the column's location and use iloc, like that: def ChangeValue(df, rowNumber, fieldName, newValue): columnNumber = df.columns.get_loc(fieldName) df.iloc[rowNumber, columnNumber] = newValue. But I wonder if there is a way to use the magic of iloc and loc in one go, and skip the manual conversion.
May 11, 2023 · new_df = df.loc[:, ['id', 'person']][2:4] new_df id person color Orange 19 Tim Yellow 17 Sue It feels like this might not be the most 'elegant' approach. Instead of tacking on [2:4] to slice the rows, is there a way to effectively combine .loc (to get the columns) and .iloc (to get the rows)?
Select specific rows and/or columns using loc when using the row and column names. Select specific rows and/or columns using iloc when using the positions in the table. You can assign new values to a selection based on loc/iloc. I highlighted some of the points to make their use-case differences even more clear.
Jan 20, 2016 · 9. While pandas.Index.get_loc() will only work if you have a single key, the following paradigm will also work getting the iloc of multiple elements: np.argwhere(condition).flatten() # array of all iloc where condition is True. In your case, picking the latest element where df.index < '2000-01-04':
Dec 28, 2018 · 2) loc: the location of the value. 3) Calculate 'val' which returns the value of each column, locations are given in 'loc'. Example: In line 0, loc = 1, val = 23. In line 1 loc = 4, val = 15, etc. The result should be like this:
