Pandas format column as currency

Question

Given the following data frame:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame(
        {\'A\':[\'A\',\'B\',\'C\',\'D\'],
         \'C\':[12355.00,12555.67,640.00,7000]
          


        

Answer 1

Or you could use a lambda function for shorter syntax

df['C'] = df['C'].apply(lambda x: "${:.1f}k".format((x/1000)))
