# FormatCase class
<a name="aws-glue-api-pyspark-transforms-FormatCase"></a>

The `FormatCase` transform changes each string in a column to the specified case type.

## Example
<a name="pyspark-FormatCase-examples"></a>

```
from pyspark.context import SparkContext
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
from awsgluedi.transforms import *

sc = SparkContext()
spark = SparkSession(sc)

datasource1 = spark.read.json("s3://${BUCKET}/json/zips/raw/data")

try:
    df_output = data_cleaning.FormatCase.apply(
        data_frame=datasource1,
        spark_context=sc,
        source_column="city",
        case_type="LOWER"
    )    
except:
    print("Unexpected Error happened ")
    raise
```

## Output
<a name="pyspark-FormatCase-output"></a>

 The `FormatCase` transformation will convert the values in the `city` column to lowercase based on the `case\$1type="LOWER"` parameter. The resulting `df\$1output` DataFrame will contain all columns from the original `datasource1` DataFrame, but with the `city` column values in lowercase.
