[FIXED] Python, how to fill nulls in a data frame using a dictionary

Issue

I have a dataframe df:

A     B      C
1     'x'    15.0
2     'y'    NA
3     'z'    25.0

And a dictionary dc:

dc = {'x':15,'y':35,'z':25}

I want to fill all nulls in column C of the dataframe using values of column B from the dictionary. So that my dataframe will become this:

A     B      C
1     'x'    15
2     'y'    35
3     'z'    25

Solution

You can use fillna with map:

dc = {'x':15,'y':35,'z':25}

df['C'] = df.C.fillna(df.B.map(dc))
df
#   A   B      C
#0  1   x   15.0
#1  2   y   35.0
#2  3   z   25.0
