How to Check Column Nulls and Replace: Pandas

Image
Here is a post that shows how to count Nulls and replace them with the value you want in the Pandas Dataframe. We have explained the process in two steps - Counting and Replacing the Null values. Count null values (column-wise) in Pandas ## count null values column-wise null_counts = df.isnull(). sum() print(null_counts) ``` Output: ``` Column1    1 Column2    1 Column3    5 dtype: int64 ``` In the above code, we first create a sample Pandas DataFrame `df` with some null values. Then, we use the `isnull()` function to create a DataFrame of the same shape as `df`, where each element is a boolean value indicating whether that element is null or not. Finally, we use the `sum()` function to count the number of null values in each column of the resulting DataFrame. The output shows the count of null values column-wise. to count null values column-wise: ``` df.isnull().sum() ``` ##Code snippet to count null values row-wise: ``` df.isnull().sum(axis=1) ``` In the above code, `df` is the Panda

Write and Read Excel files into SAS Studio

The point is how to import an excel file into SAS. Step by step process given on reading Excel file into SAS and writing Excel file from SAS.

SAS vs Excel Files

Reading an Excel file into SAS


Suppose that you have an Excel spreadsheet called auto.xlsx. The data for this spreadsheet is shown below:

MAKE MPG WEIGHT PRICEAMC Concord 22 2930 4099AMC Pacer 17 3350 4749AMC Spirit 22 2640 3799Buick Century 20 3250 4816Buick Electra 15 4080 7827

Import Wizard


Using the Import Wizard is an easy way to import data into SAS. The Import Wizard can be found on the drop-down file menu. Although the Import Wizard is easy it can be time-consuming if used repeatedly.

The very last screen of the Import Wizard gives you the option to save the statements SAS uses to import the data so that they can be used again. The following is an example that uses common options and also shows that the file was imported correctly.

PROC IMPORT OUT= WORK.auto1 DATAFILE= "C:\auto.xl"
DBMS=xlsx REPLACESHEET="auto"; GETNAMES=YES;RUN;
The out= option in the proc import tells SAS what the name should be for the newly-created SAS data file and where to store the data set once it is imported.
  • Next, the datafile= option tells SAS where to find the file we want to import.
  • The dbms= option is used to identify the type of file being imported.
  • The replace option will overwrite an existing file. To specify which sheet SAS should import use the sheet="sheetname" statement. The default is for SAS to read the first sheet. Note that sheet names can only be 31 characters long.
The getnames=yes is the default setting and SAS will automatically use the first row of data as variable names. If the first row of your sheet does not contain variable names use the getnames=no. 

Writing Excel files out from SAS

It is very easy to write out an Excel file using proc export in SAS. Here is a sample program that writes out SAS data called my data to an Excel file called mydata.xlsx into the directory "c:\dissertation".

proc export data=mydata outfile='c:\dissertation\mydata.xlsx'
dbms = xlsx replace;run;

Explained Ideal Structure of Python Class

When you are designing a class, you need to ensure that the classification of its critical parts is outlined at the beginning. The clearer the initial design, the more performant and scalable the class is. Some of the components in the order in which they should be defined in the class are mentioned as follows. Ideal structure of a class Class variables Constants or default variables are usually defined at the top of the class. For someone who is reading the code, it comes as an easy-to-view consolidated list, and for the interpreter it ensures that all such variables are processed before diving into the main logic of the class, including any other Instance method or constructor. The __init__ method The __init__ method provides information about inputs needed and how to instantiate the class. It is also the constructor of the class, which the very first method called while initializing the class . Special Python methods These methods change the functionality of the class or provide add

How to Check Kafka Available Brokers

Here's the command to check the list of brokers present in a Kafka Cluster. You can say the Broker is the heart of the Kafka cluster. In simple terms, it works as a process. The main function is to receive messages from publishers and gives permission to access messages by consumers. How to Check Available Brokers in Kafka Here is the command: linux$  ./zookeeper-shell.sh zookeeper-IPaddress:2181 | "ls /brokers/ids" Just use the above command to get the number of brokers present in your host (Kafka Cluster). What is Default Broker-id in Kafka  The default broker id is -1 . When you create a new broker, it adds to -1. Then, it gives a new broker id. The broker ids will be generated from  reserved.broker.max.id + 1. Types of broker ids. Use assigned Zookeeper generated broker id. According to Wiki: Kafka runs on a cluster of one or more servers (called brokers), and the partitions of all topics are distributed across the cluster nodes.  Additionally, partitions are replicat

6 Python file Methods Real Usage

Files always have data in them. For different purposes, you need methods to deal with them. These six file methods of use in this case. Related:  5 top file modes in python. Python file methods Below are the top six file methods in python: Tell() Seek() Flush() Fileno() truncate() isatty() 1. tell() The usage of tell method is it  returns the cursor-position of the file-pointer from the beginning of the file. It tells the current cursor position. The position starts from zero, which is same as of an index. Syntax:  fileobject.tell() 2. seek() The usage of seek  method is cursor position, from one position to the specified position from the beginning of the file, it moves. Here, the cursor will be sought to a particular location. Syntax:  fileobject.seek(position) 3. flush() The usage of flush  method is clean out the internal buffer. Before writing the text in the file, it is best practice to clear out that the internal buffer can be cleared. Syntax:  fileobject.flush() 4. fileno() The
