python how to rename columns in pandas dataframe
# Basic syntax: # Assign column names to a Pandas dataframe: pandas_dataframe.columns = ['list', 'of', 'column', 'names'] # Note, the list of column names must equal the number of columns in the # dataframe and order matters # Rename specific column names of a Pandas dataframe: pandas_dataframe.rename(columns={'column_name_to_change':'new_name'}) # Note, with this approach, you can specify just the names you want to # change and the order doesn't matter # For rows, use "index". E.g.: pandas_dataframe.index = ['list', 'of', 'row', 'names'] pandas_dataframe.rename(index={'row_name_to_change':'new_name'})
