How to check if float pandas column contains only integer numbers?

Question

I have a dataframe

df = pd.DataFrame(data=np.arange(10),columns=[\'v\']).astype(float)

How to make sure that the numbers in v

Answer 1

If you want to check multiple float columns in your dataframe, you can do the following:

col_should_be_int = df.select_dtypes(include=['float']).applymap(float.is_integer).all()
float_to_int_cols = col_should_be_int[col_should_be_int].index
df.loc[:, float_to_int_cols] = df.loc[:, float_to_int_cols].astype(int)

Keep in mind that a float column, containing all integers will not get selected if it has np.NaN values. To cast float columns with missing values to integer, you need to fill/remove missing values, for example, with median imputation:

float_cols = df.select_dtypes(include=['float'])
float_cols = float_cols.fillna(float_cols.median().round()) # median imputation
col_should_be_int = float_cols.applymap(float.is_integer).all()
float_to_int_cols = col_should_be_int[col_should_be_int].index
df.loc[:, float_to_int_cols] = float_cols[float_to_int_cols].astype(int)
