PySpark SQL Functions' isnan(-) method returns True where the column value is NaN (not-a-number).

NOTE

PySpark treats null and NaN as separate entities. Please refer to our isNull(-) method for more details.

Parameters

1. col | string or Column object

The column label or Column object to target.

Return Value

A PySpark SQL Column object (pyspark.sql.column.Column).

Examples

Consider the following PySpark DataFrame:

import numpy as np
df = spark.createDataFrame([["Alex", 25.0], ["Bob", np.nan], ["Cathy", float("nan")]], ["name", "age"])
df.show()
+-----+----+
| name| age|
+-----+----+
| Alex|25.0|
| Bob| NaN|
|Cathy| NaN|
+-----+----+

To get all rows where age is NaN:

from pyspark.sql import functions as F
df.where(F.isnan("age")).show()
+-----+---+
| name|age|
+-----+---+
| Bob|NaN|
|Cathy|NaN|
+-----+---+
