Pandas DataFrame Add column to index without resetting
how do I add 'd'
to the index below without having to reset it first?
from pandas import DataFrame
df = DataFrame( {'a': range(6), 'b': range(6), 'c': range(6)} )
df.set_index(['a','b'], inplace=True)
df['d'] = range(6)
# how do I set index to 'a b d' without having to reset it first?
df.reset_index(['a','b','d'], inplace=True)
df.set_index(['a','b','d'], inplace=True)
df
Solution 1:
We added an append
option to set_index
. Try that.
The command is:
df.set_index(['d'], append=True)
(we don't need to specify ['a', 'b'], as they already are in the index and we're appending to them)
