Convert the string 2.90K to 2900 or 5.2M to 5200000 in pandas dataframe

Question:

Need some help on processing data inside a pandas dataframe.
Any help is most welcome.

I have OHCLV data in CSV format. I have loaded the file in to pandas dataframe.

How do I convert the volume column from 2.90K to 2900 or 5.2M to 5200000.
The column can contain both K in form of thousands and M in millions.

import pandas as pd

file_path = '/home/fatjoe/UCHM.csv'
df = pd.read_csv(file_path, parse_dates=[0], index_col=0)
df.columns = [
"closing_price", 
"opening_price", 
"high_price", 
"low_price",
"volume",
"change"]

df['opening_price'] = df['closing_price']
df['opening_price'] = df['opening_price'].shift(-1)
df = df.replace('-', 0)
df = df[:-1]
print(df.head())

Console:

 2016-09-21     54.20K

Answers:

assuming you have the following DF:

In [30]: df
Out[30]:
         Date      Val
0  2016-09-23      100
1  2016-09-22    9.60M
2  2016-09-21   54.20K
3  2016-09-20  115.30K
4  2016-09-19   18.90K
5  2016-09-16  176.10K
6  2016-09-15   31.60K
7  2016-09-14   10.00K
8  2016-09-13    3.20M

you can do it this way:

In [31]: df.Val = (df.Val.replace(r'[KM]+$', '', regex=True).astype(float) * 
   ....:           df.Val.str.extract(r'[d.]+([KM]+)', expand=False)
   ....:             .fillna(1)
   ....:             .replace(['K','M'], [10**3, 10**6]).astype(int))

In [32]: df
Out[32]:

DataFrame.replace with pd.eval

I like MaxU’s answer. You can considerably shorten this using pd.eval:

df['Val'].replace({'K': '*1e3', 'M': '*1e6'}, regex=True).map(pd.eval).astype(int)

0        100
1    9600000
2      54200
3     115300
4      18900
5     176100
6      31600
7      10000
8    3200000
Name: Val, dtype: int64

Slight modification will make this case insensitive as well:

repl_dict = {'[kK]': '*1e3', '[mM]': '*1e6', '[bB]': '*1e9', }
df['Val'].replace(repl_dict, regex=True).map(pd.eval)

0        100.0
1    9600000.0
2      54200.0
3     115300.0
4      18900.0
5     176100.0
6      31600.0
7      10000.0
8    3200000.0
Name: Val, dtype: float64

Explanation

Assuming "Val" is a column of strings, the replace operation yields,

df['Val'].replace({'K': '*1e3', 'M': '*1e6'}, regex=True)

0           100
1      9.60*1e6
2     54.20*1e3
3    115.30*1e3
4     18.90*1e3
5    176.10*1e3
6     31.60*1e3
7     10.00*1e3
8      3.20*1e6
Name: Val, dtype: object

This is an arithmetic expression which pd.eval can evaluate!

_ .map(pd.eval)

0        100.0
1    9600000.0
2      54200.0
3     115300.0
4      18900.0
5     176100.0
6      31600.0
7      10000.0
8    3200000.0
Name: Val, dtype: float64

To further generalize cs95’s answer I would do this:

df['Val'].replace({'K': '*1e3', 'M': '*1e6', '-':'-1'}, regex=True).map(pd.eval).astype(int)

since on some numeric values pd.eval has to multiply ‘-‘ by some other number which will result an error. (could not convert string to float ‘-‘)

You can use numerize library, too easy!

pip install numerize 

Use

print(numerize.numerize(1000))
print(numerize.numerize(100000))
print(numerize.numerize(1234567))
print(numerize.numerize(123456789))

Result:
