Delete the first three rows of a dataframe in pandas
Solution 1:
Use iloc:
df = df.iloc[3:]
will give you a new df without the first three rows.
Solution 2:
I think a more explicit way of doing this is to use drop.
The syntax is:
df.drop(label)
And as pointed out by @tim and @ChaimG, this can be done in-place:
df.drop(label, inplace=True)
One way of implementing this could be:
df.drop(df.index[:3], inplace=True)
And another "in place" use:
df.drop(df.head(3).index, inplace=True)
Solution 3:
df = df.iloc[n:]
n drops the first n rows.
