There are several ways to solve the issue of not being able to transform a string into an integer or numeric type in Databricks:
df['col_name'] = df['col_name'].cast("integer")
df['col_name'] = df['col_name'].replace(",", "").replace("$", "").cast("integer")
import re
df['col_name'] = df['col_name'].apply(lambda x: re.sub('\D', '', x)).cast("integer")
!pip install spark-csv
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
spark = SparkSession.builder.appName("MyApp").getOrCreate()
df = spark.read.csv("path/to/csv/file", header=True, inferSchema=True)
By setting inferSchema=True
, Databricks will attempt to automatically detect the data types of each column in the CSV file. This can save a lot of time and effort when working with large datasets.
