Merge multiple dataframes based on a common column [duplicate]

Answer 1

Using pd.concat:

df1.set_index('Col1',inplace=True)
df2.set_index('Col1',inplace=True)
df3.set_index('Col1',inplace=True)
df = pd.concat([df1,df2,df3],axis=1,sort=False).reset_index()
df.rename(columns = {'index':'Col1'})

    Col1    Col2    Col3    Col4    Col5    Col6    Col7
0   data1   3       4       7.0     4.0     NaN     NaN
1   data2   4       3       6.0     9.0     5.0     8.0
2   data3   2       3       1.0     4.0     2.0     7.0
3   data4   2       4       NaN     NaN     NaN     NaN
4   data5   1       4       NaN     NaN     5.0     3.0
