Python | Pandas.pivot() - GeeksforGeeks

pandas.pivot(index, columns, values) function produces pivot table based on 3 columns of the DataFrame. Uses unique values from index / columns and fills with values.

Parameters:
index[ndarray] : Labels to use to make new frame’s index
columns[ndarray] : Labels to use to make new frame’s columns
values[ndarray] : Values to use for populating new frame’s values

Returns: Reshaped DataFrame
Exception: ValueError raised if there are any duplicates.

Code:

# Create a simple dataframe 
  
# importing pandas as pd 
import pandas as pd 
  
# creating a dataframe 
df = pd.DataFrame({'A': ['John', 'Boby', 'Mina'], 
      'B': ['Masters', 'Graduate', 'Graduate'], 
      'C': [27, 23, 21]}) 
  
df 

# values can be an object or a list 
df.pivot('A', 'B', 'C') 

# value is a list 
df.pivot(index ='A', columns ='B', values =['C', 'A']) 

Raise ValueError when there are any index, columns combinations with multiple values.

# importing pandas as pd 
import pandas as pd 
  
# creating a dataframe 
df = pd.DataFrame({'A': ['John', 'John', 'Mina'], 
      'B': ['Masters', 'Masters', 'Graduate'], 
      'C': [27, 23, 21]}) 
  
  
df.pivot('A', 'B', 'C') 

ValueError: Index contains duplicate entries, cannot reshape
