understanding MultiIndex

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

as an alternative solution, if -for whatever reason- you want to keep the multi-indexing in the read_csv statement.

Same dataset.

df = pd.read_csv("Workbook1.csv", index_col=["team", "name"])
df.stack().unstack()

        date    score
team    name        
A   John    3/9/2012    100
    Peter   9/9/2012    103
    Rachel  30/10/12    98
B   Jane    4/9/2012    102
    John    3/9/2012    99
    Kate    31/10/12    103
C   David   1/11/2012   104
    Josie   11/9/2012   111
