+# Column Selections
+
+Let's create a dataset to use in this section:
+
+{{code_block('user-guide/expressions/column_selections','selectors_df',['DataFrame'])}}
+
+```python exec="on" result="text" session="user-guide/column_selections"
+--8<-- "python/user-guide/expressions/column_selections.py:setup"
+--8<-- "python/user-guide/expressions/column_selections.py:selectors_df"
+```
+
+## Expression Expansion
+
+As we've seen in the previous section, we can select specific columns using the `pl.col` method. It can also select multiple columns - both as a means of convenience, and to *expand* the expression. 
+
+This kind of convenience feature isn't just decorative or syntactic sugar. It allows for a very powerful application of [DRY](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_repeat_yourself) principles in your code: a single expression that specifies multiple columns expands into a list of expressions (depending on the DataFrame schema), resulting in being able to select multiple columns + run computation on them!
+
+### Select all, or all but some
+
+We can select all columns in the `DataFrame` object by providing the argument `*`:
+
+{{code_block('user-guide/expressions/column_selections', 'all',['all'])}}
+```python exec="on" result="text" session="user-guide/column_selections"
+--8<-- "python/user-guide/expressions/column_selections.py:all"
+```
+
+Often, we don't just want to include all columns, but include all *while* excluding a few. This can be done easily as well:
+
+{{code_block('user-guide/expressions/column_selections','exclude',['exclude'])}}
+
+```python exec="on" result="text" session="user-guide/column_selections"
+--8<-- "python/user-guide/expressions/column_selections.py:exclude"
+```
+
+### By multiple strings
+
+Specifying multiple strings allows expressions to *expand* to all matching columns:
+
+{{code_block('user-guide/expressions/column_selections','expansion_by_names',['dt_to_string'])}}
+
+```python exec="on" result="text" session="user-guide/column_selections"
+--8<-- "python/user-guide/expressions/column_selections.py:expansion_by_names"
+```
+
+### By regular expressions
+
+Multiple column selection is possible by regular expressions also, by making sure to wrap the regex by `^` and `$` to let `pl.col` know that a regex selection is expected:
+
+{{code_block('user-guide/expressions/column_selections','expansion_by_regex',[''])}}
+
+```python exec="on" result="text" session="user-guide/column_selections"
+--8<-- "python/user-guide/expressions/column_selections.py:expansion_by_regex"
+```
+
+### By data type
+
+`pl.col` can select multiple columns using Polars data types:
+
+{{code_block('user-guide/expressions/column_selections','expansion_by_dtype',['n_unique'])}}
+
+```python exec="on" result="text" session="user-guide/column_selections"
+--8<-- "python/user-guide/expressions/column_selections.py:expansion_by_dtype"
+```
+
+## Using `selectors`
+
+Polars also allows for the use of intuitive selections for columns based on their name, `dtype` or other properties; and this is built on top of existing functionality outlined in `col` used above. It is recommended to use them by importing and aliasing `polars.selectors` as `cs`.
+
+### By `dtype`
+
+To select just the integer and string columns, we can do:
+
+{{code_block('user-guide/expressions/column_selections','selectors_intro',['selectors'])}}
+
+```python exec="on" result="text" session="user-guide/column_selections"
+--8<-- "python/user-guide/expressions/column_selections.py:selectors_intro"
+```
+
+### Applying set operations
+
+These *selectors* also allow for set based selection operations. For instance, to select the **numeric** columns **except** the **first** column that indicates row numbers:
+
+{{code_block('user-guide/expressions/column_selections','selectors_diff',['cs_first', 'cs_numeric'])}}
+
+```python exec="on" result="text" session="user-guide/column_selections"
+--8<-- "python/user-guide/expressions/column_selections.py:selectors_diff"
+```
+
+We can also select the row number by name **and** any **non**-numeric columns:
+
+{{code_block('user-guide/expressions/column_selections','selectors_union',['cs_by_name', 'cs_numeric'])}}
+
+```python exec="on" result="text" session="user-guide/column_selections"
+--8<-- "python/user-guide/expressions/column_selections.py:selectors_union"
+```
+
+### By patterns and substrings
+
+*Selectors* can also be matched by substring and regex patterns:
+
+{{code_block('user-guide/expressions/column_selections','selectors_by_name',['cs_contains', 'cs_matches'])}}
+
+```python exec="on" result="text" session="user-guide/column_selections"
+--8<-- "python/user-guide/expressions/column_selections.py:selectors_by_name"
+```
+
+### Converting to expressions
+
+What if we want to apply a specific operation on the selected columns (i.e. get back to representing them as **expressions** to operate upon)? We can simply convert them using `as_expr` and then proceed as normal:
+
+{{code_block('user-guide/expressions/column_selections','selectors_to_expr',['cs_temporal'])}}
+
+```python exec="on" result="text" session="user-guide/column_selections"
+--8<-- "python/user-guide/expressions/column_selections.py:selectors_to_expr"
+```
+
+### Debugging `selectors`
+
+Polars also provides two helpful utility functions to aid with using selectors: `is_selector` and `selector_column_names`:
+
+{{code_block('user-guide/expressions/column_selections','selectors_is_selector_utility',['is_selector'])}}
+
+```python exec="on" result="text" session="user-guide/column_selections"
+--8<-- "python/user-guide/expressions/column_selections.py:selectors_is_selector_utility"
+```
+
+To predetermine the column names that are selected, which is especially useful for a LazyFrame object:
+
+{{code_block('user-guide/expressions/column_selections','selectors_colnames_utility',['selector_column_names'])}}
+
+```python exec="on" result="text" session="user-guide/column_selections"
+--8<-- "python/user-guide/expressions/column_selections.py:selectors_colnames_utility"
+```
