ISNUMER excel funtion in PYTHON












0















I have the following dataset



sku ids link 
1 55 1
2 56 3
3 57 ab
5 58 1
9 59 bc
10 60 1


I am trying to define the follow function to create a new column



def fmq(row): 
if row['link'] == 1:
value = 10
else:
row['link']
return value


I am getting the following error
TypeError: ("'>' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'float'",
'occurred at index 0')



df['sub_link'] = df.apply(fmq, axis=1)


Final Output:



sku ids link sub_link
1 55 1 10
2 56 3 3
3 57 ab ab
5 58 1 10
9 59 bc bc
10 60 1 10

I know that in excel we can use isnumber([link]) function,
how can i replicate this function in python?

          pd.to_numeric + mask



          Use Pandas methods. In this case, you need to convert to numeric first.



          link_num = pd.to_numeric(df['link'], errors='coerce')

          df['sub_link'] = df['link'].mask(link_num == 1, 10)


          Row-wise solutions such as apply involve Python-level loops: they are inefficient and not recommended.

            If I understand the problem correctly, you essentially want to test if something is an integer, correct? You can do



            1) Casting



            try:
            to_test = int(value)
            except Exception as e:
            pass # In this case it could not be casted to an int


            2) type checking



            if isinstance(value, int):
            # do thing
            else:
            # do other thing
