Rename multiple column to remove spaces and comma

[FaridSuharjo]

I try to join two data sets, but returns the following error: "Column name can not contain comma, quotation mark, leading or trailing white spaces with DSS engine"

Is there any way to remove multiple columns in mass to remove spaces and comma?

Hi Farid,

You can do it with a Python Recipe using:

df.columns = df.columns.str.replace(',', '').replace(' ','')

Another option is to use a Preparation Recipe and add step "Rename Columns" but you have to change each column manually.

Hello,

Old thread but I'm still having issues replacing whitespaces in columns in mass (have 500+ columns).

When using the above code, columns are changed, but all rows come out null 😕

Is there a better way to do this?

NEVERMIND.

It worked in the end; thank you so much!
