I need to clean up a files using Pandas. But the raw files we are using have a couple of rows above the column headers that I need to erase before getting to work. I do not find how to get rid of them.
I suppose this has to be done before generating the frame.
Can someone help?
Thanks in advance.
Sample CSV raw file
You can try using the skiprows parameter in read_csv() :
pd.read_csv('filename.csv', skiprows=5)

I know this question has been asked a lot, but none of the solutions I can find seems to work.
I'm trying to read a csv in python using pandas. The csv file 'data.csv' contains 8 comma separated and no header in the format:
T,000027E7,24.56,3.41,5.03,12,1260497437.817,4,0.18
T,00006726,28.84,8.24,5.03,14,1260497437.818,4,3.62
However, when using the command below, only a single column containing all values is outputted.
import pandas as pd
data2=pd.read_csv('data.csv',header=None)
I've also tried specifying names of each column to no avail.
data2=pd.read_csv('data.csv',header=None, names=['Type','TagID','x','y','z','BatLvl','TimeStamp','Unit','DQI'])
Does anybody know of a way to solve this?
Am using SQL to get the data from salesforce api using python.
The output is writing into csv file.
When I tried with the below statement, to replace the newlines, its not replacing all of them. For example, for one record we are getting multiple lines of data in multiple fields, leads to lot more records, instead of actual records that to in a wrong format.
tmp.append(str(record['Description']).replace('\r\n',''))
Used this link to write the json data into csv
Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried to use pandas to read the data?
you can do
import pandas as pd
pd.read_csv('filepath.csv', sep=',')
or you can do
pd.read_json('data.json', orient='records')
Do any of these work?
I have a CSV file, diseases_matrix_KNN.csv which has excel table.
Now, I would like to store all the numbers from the row like:
Hypothermia = [0,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]
For some reason, I am unable to find a solution to this. Even though I have looked. Please let me know if I can read this type of data in the chosen form, using Python please.
most common way to work with excel is use Pandas.
Here is example:
import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_excel(filename)
print (df.iloc['Hypothermia']). # gives you such result
I have a messy text file that I need to sort into columns in a dataframe so I
can do the data analysis I need to do. Here is the messy looking file:
Messy text
I can read it in as a csv file, that looks a bit nicer using:
import pandas as pd
data = pd.read_csv('phx_30kV_indepth_0_0_outfile.txt')
print(data)
And this prints out the data aligned, but the issue is that the output is [640 rows x 1 column]. And I need to separate it into multiple columns and manipulate it as a dataframe.
I have tried a number of solutions using StringIO that have worked here before, but nothing seems to be doing the trick.
However, when I do this, there is the issue that the
delim_whitespace=True
Link to docs ^
df = pd.read_csv('phx_30kV_indepth_0_0_outfile.txt', delim_whitespace=True)
Your input file is actually not in CSV format.
As you provided only .png picture, it is even not clear, whether this file
is divided into rows or not.
If not, you have to start from "cutting" the content into individual lines and
read the content from the output file - result of this cutting.
I think, this is the first step, before you can use either read_csv or read_table (of course, with delim_whitespace=True).
I am trying to open a csv file using pandas.
This is a screenshot of the file opened in excel.
Some columns have names and some do not. When trying to read this in with pandas I get the "ValueError: Passed header names mismatches usecols" error.
When I open part of the file in excel, add column names, save, and then import with pandas it works.
The problem is the files are large and cannot fully open in excel (plus I'd prefer a more elegant solution anyway).
Is there a way to deal with this issue in pandas?
I have read answers to other questions regarding this error but none were relevant.
Thanks so much in advance!
In names you can provide column names:
df = pd.read_csv('pandas_dataframe_importing_csv/example.csv', names=['col1', 'col2', 'col3'], engine='python')
