Starting from a dataframe df
:
U L
111 en
112 en
112 es
113 es
113 ja
113 zh
114 es
Imagine you want to add a new column called S
taking values from the following dictionary:
d = {112: 'en', 113: 'es', 114: 'es', 111: 'en'}
You can use map
to perform a lookup on keys returning the corresponding values as a new column:
df['S'] = df['U'].map(d)
that returns:
U L S
111 en en
112 en en
112 es en
113 es es
113 ja es
113 zh es
114 es es
