Here s a simple function that will downcast floats into the smallest possible integer type that doesn t lose any information   For examples    100 0 can be converted from float to integer  but 99 9 can t  without losing information to rounding or truncation  Additionally  1 0 can be downcast all the way to int8 without losing information  but the smallest integer type for 100 000 0 is int32   Code examples   import numpy as np import pandas as pd  def float to int  s        if   s astype np int64     s   all            return pd to numeric  s  downcast  integer        else          return s    small integers are downcast into 8-bit integers float to int  np array  1 0 2 0     Out 1  array  1  2   dtype int8     larger integers are downcast into larger integer types float to int  np array  100 000  200 000      Out 2   array  100000  200000   dtype int32     if there are values to the right of the decimal   point  no conversion is made float to int  np array  1 1 2 2     Out 3   array   1 1   2 2

This is a quick solution in case you want to convert more columns of your pandas DataFrame from float to integer considering also the case that you can have NaN values   cols     col 1    col 2    col 3    col 4   for col in cols     df col    df col  apply lambda x  int x  if x    x else       I tried with else x  and else None   but the result is still having the float number  so I used else

Expanding on  Ryan G mentioned usage of the pandas DataFrame astype  lt type gt   method  one can use the errors ignore argument to only convert those columns that do not produce an error  which notably simplifies the syntax  Obviously  caution should be applied when ignoring errors  but for this task it comes very handy   gt  gt  gt  df   pd DataFrame np random rand 3  4   columns list  ABCD     gt  gt  gt  df    10  gt  gt  gt  print df                A       B       C       D     0   2 16861 8 34139 1 83434 6 91706     1   5 85938 9 71712 5 53371 4 26542     2   0 50112 4 06725 1 99795 4 75698   gt  gt  gt  df  E     list  XYZ    gt  gt  gt  df astype int  errors  ignore    gt  gt  gt  print df          A   B   C   D   E     0   2   8   1   6   X     1   5   9   5   4   Y     2   0   4   1   4   Z  From pandas DataFrame astype docs   errors       raise        ignore      default    raise    Control raising of exceptions on invalid data for provided dtype   raise   allow exceptions to be raised ignore   suppress exceptions  On error return original object  New in version 0 20 0
