============================ Standardize names and values ============================ Standardize row and columns names ================================= The :meth:`Table.rename` method has arguments to convert row or column names to slugs and append unique identifiers to duplicate values. Using an existing table object: .. code-block:: python # Convert column names to unique slugs table.rename(slug_columns=True) # Convert row names to unique slugs table.rename(slug_rows=True) # Convert both column and row names to unique slugs table.rename(slug_columns=True, slug_rows=True) Standardize column values ========================= agate has a :class:`Slug` computation that can be used to also standardize text column values. The computation has an option to also append unique identifiers to duplicate values. Using an existing table object: .. code-block:: python # Convert the values in column 'title' to slugs new_table = table.compute([ ('title-slug', agate.Slug('title')) ]) # Convert the values in column 'title' to unique slugs new_table = table.compute([ ('title-slug', agate.Slug('title', ensure_unique=True)) ])
