How to check if a pandas dataframe contains only numeric values column-wise?
You can check that using to_numeric and coercing errors: pd.to_numeric(df[‘column’], errors=”coerce”).notnull().all() For all columns, you can iterate through columns or just use apply df.apply(lambda s: pd.to_numeric(s, errors=”coerce”).notnull().all()) E.g. df = pd.DataFrame({‘col’ : [1,2, 10, np.nan, ‘a’], ‘col2’: [‘a’, 10, 30, 40 ,50], ‘col3’: [1,2,3,4,5.0]}) Outputs col False col2 False col3 True dtype: bool
