pandas.DataFrame.set_index — pandas 2.3.1 documentation

pandas.DataFrame.set_index#
DataFrame.set_index(keys, *, drop=True, append=False, inplace=False, verify_integrity=False)[source]#

Set the DataFrame index using existing columns.

Set the DataFrame index (row labels) using one or more existing columns or arrays (of the correct length). The index can replace the existing index or expand on it.

Parameters:
keyslabel or array-like or list of labels/arrays

This parameter can be either a single column key, a single array of the same length as the calling DataFrame, or a list containing an arbitrary combination of column keys and arrays. Here, “array” encompasses Series, Index, np.ndarray, and instances of Iterator.

dropbool, default True

Delete columns to be used as the new index.

appendbool, default False

Whether to append columns to existing index.

inplacebool, default False

Whether to modify the DataFrame rather than creating a new one.

verify_integritybool, default False

Check the new index for duplicates. Otherwise defer the check until necessary. Setting to False will improve the performance of this method.

Returns:
DataFrame or None

Changed row labels or None if inplace=True.

Examples

>>> df = pd.DataFrame({'month': [1, 4, 7, 10],
...                    'year': [2012, 2014, 2013, 2014],
...                    'sale': [55, 40, 84, 31]})
>>> df
   month  year  sale
0      1  2012    55
1      4  2014    40
2      7  2013    84
3     10  2014    31

Set the index to become the ‘month’ column:

>>> df.set_index('month')
       year  sale
month
1      2012    55
4      2014    40
7      2013    84
10     2014    31

Create a MultiIndex using columns ‘year’ and ‘month’:

>>> df.set_index(['year', 'month'])
            sale
year  month
2012  1     55
2014  4     40
2013  7     84
2014  10    31

Create a MultiIndex using an Index and a column:

>>> df.set_index([pd.Index([1, 2, 3, 4]), 'year'])
         month  sale
   year
1  2012  1      55
2  2014  4      40
3  2013  7      84
4  2014  10     31

Create a MultiIndex using two Series:

>>> s = pd.Series([1, 2, 3, 4])
>>> df.set_index([s, s**2])
      month  year  sale
1 1       1  2012    55
2 4       4  2014    40
3 9       7  2013    84
4 16     10  2014    31
