Hash table-based unique. Uniques are returned in order of appearance. This does NOT sort.
Significantly faster than numpy.unique. Includes NA values.
Parameters:values : 1d array-like
Returns:unique values.
- If the input is an Index, the return is an Index
- If the input is a Categorical dtype, the return is a Categorical
- If the input is a Series/ndarray, the return will be an ndarray
Examples
>>> pd.unique(pd.Series([2, 1, 3, 3])) array([2, 1, 3])
>>> pd.unique(pd.Series([2] + [1] * 5)) array([2, 1])
>>> pd.unique(Series([pd.Timestamp('20160101'),
... pd.Timestamp('20160101')]))
array(['2016-01-01T00:00:00.000000000'], dtype='datetime64[ns]')
>>> pd.unique(pd.Series([pd.Timestamp('20160101', tz='US/Eastern'),
... pd.Timestamp('20160101', tz='US/Eastern')]))
array([Timestamp('2016-01-01 00:00:00-0500', tz='US/Eastern')],
dtype=object)
>>> pd.unique(pd.Index([pd.Timestamp('20160101', tz='US/Eastern'),
... pd.Timestamp('20160101', tz='US/Eastern')]))
DatetimeIndex(['2016-01-01 00:00:00-05:00'],
... dtype='datetime64[ns, US/Eastern]', freq=None)
>>> pd.unique(list('baabc'))
array(['b', 'a', 'c'], dtype=object)
An unordered Categorical will return categories in the order of appearance.
>>> pd.unique(Series(pd.Categorical(list('baabc'))))
[b, a, c]
Categories (3, object): [b, a, c]
>>> pd.unique(Series(pd.Categorical(list('baabc'),
... categories=list('abc'))))
[b, a, c]
Categories (3, object): [b, a, c]
An ordered Categorical preserves the category ordering.
>>> pd.unique(Series(pd.Categorical(list('baabc'),
... categories=list('abc'),
... ordered=True)))
[b, a, c]
Categories (3, object): [a < b < c]
An array of tuples
>>> pd.unique([('a', 'b'), ('b', 'a'), ('a', 'c'), ('b', 'a')])
array([('a', 'b'), ('b', 'a'), ('a', 'c')], dtype=object)
