Align two objects on their axes with the specified join method.
Join method is specified for each axis Index.
The object to align with.
Type of alignment to be performed.
left: use only keys from left frame, preserve key order.
right: use only keys from right frame, preserve key order.
outer: use union of keys from both frames, sort keys lexicographically.
inner: use intersection of keys from both frames, preserve the order of the left keys.
Align on index (0), columns (1), or both (None).
Broadcast across a level, matching Index values on the passed MultiIndex level.
Always returns new objects. If copy=False and no reindexing is required then original objects are returned.
Note
The copy keyword will change behavior in pandas 3.0. Copy-on-Write will be enabled by default, which means that all methods with a copy keyword will use a lazy copy mechanism to defer the copy and ignore the copy keyword. The copy keyword will be removed in a future version of pandas.
You can already get the future behavior and improvements through enabling copy on write pd.options.mode.copy_on_write = True
Deprecated since version 3.0.0.
Value to use for missing values. Defaults to NaN, but can be any âcompatibleâ value.
Aligned objects.

Examples
>>> df = pd.DataFrame( ... [[1, 2, 3, 4], [6, 7, 8, 9]], columns=["D", "B", "E", "A"], index=[1, 2] ... ) >>> other = pd.DataFrame( ... [[10, 20, 30, 40], [60, 70, 80, 90], [600, 700, 800, 900]], ... columns=["A", "B", "C", "D"], ... index=[2, 3, 4], ... ) >>> df D B E A 1 1 2 3 4 2 6 7 8 9 >>> other A B C D 2 10 20 30 40 3 60 70 80 90 4 600 700 800 900
Align on columns:
>>> left, right = df.align(other, join="outer", axis=1) >>> left A B C D E 1 4 2 NaN 1 3 2 9 7 NaN 6 8 >>> right A B C D E 2 10 20 30 40 NaN 3 60 70 80 90 NaN 4 600 700 800 900 NaN
We can also align on the index:
>>> left, right = df.align(other, join="outer", axis=0) >>> left D B E A 1 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 2 6.0 7.0 8.0 9.0 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN >>> right A B C D 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN 2 10.0 20.0 30.0 40.0 3 60.0 70.0 80.0 90.0 4 600.0 700.0 800.0 900.0
Finally, the default axis=None will align on both index and columns:
>>> left, right = df.align(other, join="outer", axis=None) >>> left A B C D E 1 4.0 2.0 NaN 1.0 3.0 2 9.0 7.0 NaN 6.0 8.0 3 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 4 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN >>> right A B C D E 1 NaN NaN NaN NaN NaN 2 10.0 20.0 30.0 40.0 NaN 3 60.0 70.0 80.0 90.0 NaN 4 600.0 700.0 800.0 900.0 NaN
