Change Numbers from "81,33" to "81.33" with FOR loop

Question

I need to change a big amount of data in a column from e.g. "81,33" to "81.33". Is it possible to change "," to "." and execute it with a For Loop for all values in one column?

Thank you!

It is possible.

float_numbers_as_strings = ["81,33", "44,55", "6565,4", "50,0", "5"]
float_numbers_as_strings = [number.replace(",", ".") for number in float_numbers_as_strings]

You can do it in a for loop and use replace. In my example I did the shorthand version of the for loop.

That doesn't use pandas – roganjosh Mar 03 '20 at 16:25
