Panel.rename()

Alter axes input function or functions. Function / dict values must be unique (1-to-1). Labels not contained in a dict / Series will be left as-is. Extra labels listed don?t throw an error. Alternatively, change Series.name with a scalar value (Series only).

Examples

>>> s = pd.Series([1, 2, 3])
>>> s
0    1
1    2
2    3
dtype: int64
>>> s.rename("my_name") # scalar, changes Series.name
0    1
1    2
2    3
Name: my_name, dtype: int64
>>> s.rename(lambda x: x ** 2)  # function, changes labels
0    1
1    2
4    3
dtype: int64
>>> s.rename({1: 3, 2: 5})  # mapping, changes labels
0    1
3    2
5    3
dtype: int64
>>> df = pd.DataFrame({"A": [1, 2, 3], "B": [4, 5, 6]})
>>> df.rename(2)
...
TypeError: 'int' object is not callable
>>> df.rename(index=str, columns={"A": "a", "B": "c"})
   a  c
0  1  4
1  2  5
2  3  6
>>> df.rename(index=str, columns={"A": "a", "C": "c"})
   a  B
0  1  4
