Applying Log Transformation to Specific Values in a Pandas DataFrame
The issue with the provided code is that it uses everything() which returns all columns in the data frame. However, not all columns have values of 0.0000000. We need to check each column individually and apply the transformation only when the value is 0.0000000. Here’s how you can do it: df |> mutate( ifelse(is.na(anyValue), NA, across(all_of(.col %in% names(df)), ~ifelse(.x == 0.0000000, 1e-7, .x))), log_ ) This will apply the log transformation only to columns where the value is exactly 0.
