Question

So I have a sample data set like this in csv:-

name    team    date       score
John    A   3/9/12      100
John    B   3/9/12      99
Jane    B   4/9/12             


        

Answer 1

Figured it out myself.

df = read_csv("data/Workbook1.csv")

df

     name team      date  score
0    John    A    3/9/12    100
1    John    B    3/9/12     99
2    Jane    B    4/9/12    102
3   Peter    A    9/9/12    103
4   Josie    C   11/9/12    111
5  Rachel    A  30/10/12     98
6    Kate    B  31/10/12    103
7   David    C   1/11/12    104

df2 = df.pivot('team', 'name').stack()

df2

                 date  score
team name                   
A    John      3/9/12    100
     Peter     9/9/12    103
     Rachel  30/10/12     98
B    Jane      4/9/12    102
     John      3/9/12     99
     Kate    31/10/12    103
C    David    1/11/12    104
     Josie    11/9/12    111
