Add a new column in Pandas Data Frame Using a Dictionary


Pandas is basically the library in Python used for Data Analysis and Manipulation. To add a new Column in the data frame we have a variety of methods. But here in this post, we are discussing adding a new column by using the dictionary.

Let’s take Example!

filter_none

brightness_4
code

# Python program to illustrate
# Add a new column  in Pandas 
  
# Importing the pandas Library
import pandas as pd
  
# creating a data frame with some data values.
data_frame = pd.DataFrame([[i] for i in range(7)], columns =['data'])
  
print (data_frame)

                        filter_none








Output:


  data 
0  0
1  1
2  2
3  3
4  4
5  5
6  6




Now Using the above-written method lets try to add a new column to it. Let’s add the New columns named as “new_data_1”.

Map Function : Adding column “new_data_1” by giving the functionality of getting week name for the column named “data”. Call map and pass the dict, this will perform a lookup and return the associated value for that key.


Let’s Introduce variable week data typed as Dictionary that includes the name of days in the week.

                                    code
                                




















# Python program to illustrate 


# Add a new column  in Pandas  


# Data Frame Using a Dictionary 


  


import pandas as pd 


  


data_frame = pd.DataFrame([[i] for i in range(7)], columns =['data']) 


  


# Introducing weeks as dictionary 


weeks = {0:'Sunday', 1:'Monday', 2:'Tuesday', 3:'Wednesday',  


4:'Thursday', 5:'Friday', 6:'Saturday'} 


  


# Mapping the dictionary keys to the data frame. 


data_frame['new_data_1'] = data_frame['data'].map(weeks) 


print (data_frame) 



















                        chevron_right







                        filter_none








Output:


  data  new_data_1
0  0  Sunday
1  1  Monday
2  2  Tuesday
3  3  Wednesday
4  4  Thursday
5  5  Friday
6  6  Saturday




And, we have successfully added a column (Sunday, Monday….) at the end.
