pandas.Series.clip_upper

Series.clip_upper(threshold, axis=None, inplace=False)

Trim values above a given threshold.

Deprecated since version 0.24.0: Use clip(upper=threshold) instead.

Elements above the threshold will be changed to match the threshold value(s). Threshold can be a single value or an array, in the latter case it performs the truncation element-wise.

Parameters:

threshold : numeric or array-like

Maximum value allowed. All values above threshold will be set to this value.

• float : every value is compared to threshold.
• array-like : The shape of threshold should match the object it’s compared to. When self is a Series, threshold should be the length. When self is a DataFrame, threshold should 2-D and the same shape as self for axis=None, or 1-D and the same length as the axis being compared.

axis : {0 or ‘index’, 1 or ‘columns’}, default 0

Align object with threshold along the given axis.

inplace : boolean, default False

Whether to perform the operation in place on the data.

New in version 0.21.0.

Returns:

Series or DataFrame

Original data with values trimmed.
