Keep % format of float values

Question

How do you keep your float in the % format?

df[\'growth_rate\'] = df[\'growth_rate\'].replace(\'%\', \'\', regex=True).astype(float, errors=\'ignore         


        

Answer 1

You can take your column and send it through to_string:

output = df.to_string(formatters={'growth_rate': '{:,.2%}'.format})
print(output)

 growth_rate
0      23.45%
1      14.73%
2        nan%
3      25.00%

This doesn't change your data frame (which is still in float):

In [ 7]: df
Out[ 7]: 
   growth_rate
0       0.2345
1       0.1473
2          NaN
3       0.2500

but generates a string representation of the growth_rate column you can print.

To output all the columns, pass a list of formatters as long as the number of columns:

df['growth_rate2'] = [0.1,0.04,0.876,np.nan]
output = df.to_string(formatters=['{:,.2%}'.format]*2)

To output only particular columns in your special format, use a dictionary with the column names as the keys:

df['growth_rate3'] = [0.071,0.02,0.,0.66]
df.to_string(formatters={'growth_rate': '{:,.2%}'.format,
                         'growth_rate3': '{:,.2%}'.format})

Answer 2

Maybe using pandas style?

df.style.format("{:.2%}")

Answer 3

Try this one...

import math
import pandas as pd

def get_percentage(value: float):
    """ This function converts the floating-point integer into float
    type percentage string.
    :param value: A floating point integer.
    :return string: Percentage representation of the input value with % symbol at the end.
    """
    if math.isnan(value):
        return "NaN"
    else:
        return "{}%".format(round(value * 100,2))

# Create  a data frame
data = {'Growth_Rate1': [0.2345,0.1473,math.nan,0.2500],
            'Growth_Rate2': [0.4252,math.nan,0.6936,0.2746],
            'Growth_Rate3': [0.3643,0.1735,0.5925,math.nan],
        }
df = pd.DataFrame(data)

# Get the shape of the data frame
rows, cols = df.shape

# Display the data frame
print(df)

# Display the data frame with formatted values
print("---"*20)
print("\t".join(df.columns))
for row in range(rows):
    for col in range(cols):
        print(get_percentage(df.loc[row][col]), end="\t\t")
    print()
print("---"*20)

Output:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

       Growth_Rate1  Growth_Rate2  Growth_Rate3
0        0.2345        0.4252        0.3643
1        0.1473           NaN        0.1735
2           NaN        0.6936        0.5925
3        0.2500        0.2746           NaN
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Growth_Rate1    Growth_Rate2    Growth_Rate3
   23.45%          42.52%          36.43%       
   14.73%             NaN          17.35%       
      NaN          69.36%          59.25%       
   25.00%          27.46%             NaN       
----------------------------------------------------------------------
