Combine CSV files using Python
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- Manually combining CSV files into one master is time consuming, and labor intensive, and especially if you have a large number of CSV files. So why not write a Python program to automate the task? And the best part is it will take less than 5 minutes to write the code.
In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a Python program to automate CSV files merging.

Hey, great video, please do tell, if I want to merge all CSV files into one workbook but with different sheets only, like the combined workbook will have 3 sheets separately only. How to do that.
What a great video. Thank you for making it. It's amazing how powerful of a tool you can create from just a few lines of code. Thanks for the tutorial Jie!
just what I needed, thank you so much :D
Awesome as usual Jie Jenn.
thanks for your courses
this helps a lot, and i have a question. what if there is non english in that csv files, how do you construct it to english?
You probably need to translate the content first.
did the same code in VS code and got a lot of errors, where might be a problem?
Not sure.
why are the files called AAPL if they are TSLA stock?
Becauseeeee !!!! ITTTT ITT ITTT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK IT IS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cause Stone COLD SAID SO !!!!!
Your Subscription and hit like is really due on every learner.... Great teaches
Do you know how to solve the issue of no such file or directory. Even though it does exist?
Yes. The script cannot find the file.
line 7
if file.endswith('.csv')
^
SyntaxError: expected ':'
Process finished with exit code 1
This is de error code i get, is the any one who can help
You are missing a colon at the end.
Thank you. Saved my time.
Hi thank for your great videos. I have a question, if I have many csv file in one folder ( such as a list stock files A.csv, B.csv,…..) and now I would like to take one column of each files ( such as “close price” column) and finally concatenate all of them to one file. So how can I do
You can combine all the files first into a master, then delete the columns you don't want.
@@jiejenn hi Thank for your reply, by the way, I have many csv file A.csv, B.csv, C.csv, D.csv, E.csv,…. in one folder, but how can I use “for loop “ to pick automatically specified one ( B, C, D) only but not all of them ?
@@nguyenduyta7136 I think you can put the needed files name in a list and loop over the list.
What if i want to sum their data into 1 file
pandas.errors.EmptyDataError: No columns to parse from file
i am getting this error
how can i solve it sir
Please Google the error for answers.
What can I do to combine CSV files by column and not by row? I want more than 300 files combined side by side. I would appreciate it if you could answer. Thanks!
Look into pandas concat method.
Thank you, very helpful!!
Thank you again.
Great video, just real confusing your miss pronunciation of the word "object", it sounds like Agile, which gets you confused
you didnt mentioned the specified path
Not sure if I understand your question.
@@jiejenn What I meant was inorder to read a file a specific file path is required, but in this case the file path is not given so where exactly is the data being retrieved from?
Please Google os.getcwd().
thanks a lot for making this!
How to get N number of csv files as user input ?
Not sure if I understand your question.
@@jiejenn HI, Thanks For immediate response.
My query is i had some csv files , I need to take some of them as user input and combine them Into one single file and the perform some EDA.
Like some times 3 files as user input
Some files 5 files as user input.
i believe there are been a change to the script for the DataFrame
for this line master_df = master_df.append(pd.read_csv(file))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
the word append doesn't get recognized since the system throws an exception that says
AttributeError: 'DataFrame' object has no attribute 'append'. Did you mean: '_append'?
EDIT!!: on the line i have mentioned u need to add ._append instead of .append only just like this
master_df = master_df._append(pd.read_csv(file))
just copy what i did then change the variable name to your desire
I just tried, it is working for me. But if that still doesn't work for you, try master_df = pd.concat([master_df, pd.read_csv(file)], ignore_index=True)
Thanks Bro!
Can you make this py file into a executable file? or use it as universal csv consolidator?
You can make a Python program an executable file with pyinstaller.
Can you please put a video on how to save multiple dataframe to a single zip using pandas without saving as CSV
I don't think you can save a dataset as a zip file.
@@jiejenn well we can by using compression='gzip' while we calling to_csv() .... But I could not find a feasible way to compress multiple df in a single zip
@@shabs_jovial why don't you want to create the csv file first? Create it in other directory, use shutil.make_archive(output_filename, 'zip', dirname) to write the zip file, then delete the csv file.
@@alexybogomolov Thanks for tip. But I have limited space and have abundant RAM and my result dataframe is more than a GB to save as CSV. Likewise i have multiple scripts running on this condition. So when I tried to save as CSV and run , my other scripts fail due to the restrictions of my space
love it!!!
really good video my friend
I dunno why, but mine is duplicated
I dunno why either.
hello sir, please make a video for .sav file combine using python
Hum... Not interested. Thank you.
