In this post we will cover basic tasks we can perform on a dataset after importing it into python.
We will complete following tasks:
Printing the data and meta info
- Import “Superstore Sales Data\Sales_by_country_v1.csv” data.
- Perform the basic checks on the data.
- How many rows and columns are there in this dataset?
- Print only column names in the dataset.
- Print first 10 observations.
- Print the last 5 observations.
- Get the summary of the dataset.
- Print the structure of the data.
- Describe the field unitsSold, custCountry.
- Create a new dataset by taking first 30 observations from this data.
- Print the resultant data.
- Remove(delete) the new dataset.

import pandas as pd # importing library pandas

print(Sales)

#Get the summary of the dataset
Sales_country.describe()

In [17]:
#Print the structure of the data
Sales_country.apply(lambda x: [x.unique()]) # this is close str() in R.
Out[17]:
In [19]:
#Describe the field unitsSold
Sales_country.unitsSold.describe()
Out[19]:
In [20]:
#Describe the field custCountry
Sales_country.custCountry.describe() #describe wont give much info about string variable, so we will create frequency table
Out[20]:
In [21]:
Sales_country.custCountry.value_counts() #frequency table
Out[21]:
In [23]:
#Create a new dataset by taking first 30 observations from this data
sales_new=Sales_country.head(30)
In [24]:
#Print the resultant data
print(sales_new)
In [25]:
#Remove(delete) the new dataset
del(sales_new)
