modin.pandas.DataFrame.rename¶

DataFrame.rename(mapper: Renamer | None = None, *, index: Renamer | None = None, columns: Renamer | None = None, axis: Axis | None = None, copy: bool | None = None, inplace: bool = False, level: Level | None = None, errors: IgnoreRaise = 'ignore') → DataFrame | None[source] (https://github.com/snowflakedb/snowpark-python/blob/v1.23.0/src/snowflake/snowpark/modin/plugin/extensions/dataframe_overrides.py#L1695-L1747)¶

Rename columns or index labels.

Function / dict values must be unique (1-to-1). Labels not contained in a dict / Series will be left as-is. Extra labels listed don’t throw an error.

Parameters:

• mapper (dict-like or function) – Dict-like or function transformations to apply to that axis’ values. Use either mapper and axis to specify the axis to target with mapper, or index and columns.

• index (dict-like or function) – Alternative to specifying axis (mapper, axis=0 is equivalent to index=mapper).

• columns (dict-like or function) – Alternative to specifying axis (mapper, axis=1 is equivalent to columns=mapper).

• axis ({0 or 'index', 1 or 'columns'}, default 0) – Axis to target with mapper. Can be either the axis name (‘index’, ‘columns’) or number (0, 1). The default is ‘index’.

• copy (bool, default True) – Also copy underlying data. copy has been ignored with Snowflake execution engine.

• inplace (bool, default False) – Whether to modify the DataFrame rather than creating a new one. If True then value of copy is ignored.

• level (int or level name, default None) – In case of a MultiIndex, only rename labels in the specified level.

• errors ({'ignore', 'raise'}, default 'ignore') – If ‘raise’, raise a KeyError when a dict-like mapper, index, or columns contains labels that are not present in the Index being transformed. If ‘ignore’, existing keys will be renamed and extra keys will be ignored.

Returns:

DataFrame with the renamed axis labels or None if inplace=True.

Return type:

DataFrame or None

Raises:

KeyError – If any of the labels is not found in the selected axis and “errors=’raise’”.

Set the name of the axis.

Examples

DataFrame.rename supports two calling conventions

• (index=index_mapper, columns=columns_mapper, ...)

• (mapper, axis={'index', 'columns'}, ...)

We highly recommend using keyword arguments to clarify your intent.

Rename columns using a mapping:

>>> df = pd.DataFrame({"A": [1, 2, 3], "B": [4, 5, 6]})
>>> df.rename(columns={"A": "a", "B": "c"})
   a  c
0  1  4
1  2  5
2  3  6

Copy

Rename index using a mapping:

>>> df.rename(index={0: "x", 1: "y", 2: "z"})
   A  B
x  1  4
y  2  5
z  3  6

Copy

Cast index labels to a different type:

>>> df.index
Index([0, 1, 2], dtype='int64')

Copy

>>> df.rename(columns={"A": "a", "B": "b", "C": "c"}, errors="raise")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
KeyError: "['C'] not found in axis"

Copy

Using axis-style parameters:

>>> df.rename(str.lower, axis='columns')
   a  b
0  1  4
1  2  5
2  3  6

Copy

>>> df.rename({1: 2, 2: 4}, axis='index')
   A  B
0  1  4
2  2  5
4  3  6
