title: Replace characters with a space within a column while maintaining original value (In Pandas)
body: <p>I have a dataset, where, in one column I would like to replace the '.' with a ' ' or space.</p>
  <p>note - the Date is an object type</p>
  <p><strong>Data</strong></p>
  <pre><code>Date    Type
  Q1.27   A
  Q2.27   B
  </code></pre>
  <p><strong>Desired</strong></p>
  <pre><code>Date    Type
  Q1 27   A
  Q2 27   B
  </code></pre>
  <p><strong>Doing</strong></p>
  <pre><code>df['Date'] = df['Date'].replace('.','', regex=True)
  </code></pre>
  <p>However this eliminates the full value. Any suggestion is appreciated. I think I may need to incorporate a split since the code is instructing the value to be replaced by a space.</p>
