pandas Merge, join, and concatenate Merging / concatenating / joining multiple data frames (horizontally and vertically)
Example
generate sample data frames:
In [57]: df3 = pd.DataFrame({'col1':[211,212,213], 'col2': [221,222,223]})
In [58]: df1 = pd.DataFrame({'col1':[11,12,13], 'col2': [21,22,23]})
In [59]: df2 = pd.DataFrame({'col1':[111,112,113], 'col2': [121,122,123]})
In [60]: df3 = pd.DataFrame({'col1':[211,212,213], 'col2': [221,222,223]})
In [61]: df1
Out[61]:
col1 col2
0 11 21
1 12 22
2 13 23
In [62]: df2
Out[62]:
col1 col2
0 111 121
1 112 122
2 113 123
In [63]: df3
Out[63]:
col1 col2
0 211 221
1 212 222
2 213 223
merge / join / concatenate data frames [df1, df2, df3] vertically - add rows
In [64]: pd.concat([df1,df2,df3], ignore_index=True)
Out[64]:
col1 col2
0 11 21
1 12 22
2 13 23
3 111 121
4 112 122
5 113 123
6 211 221
7 212 222
8 213 223
merge / join / concatenate data frames horizontally (aligning by index):
In [65]: pd.concat([df1,df2,df3], axis=1)
Out[65]:
col1 col2 col1 col2 col1 col2
0 11 21 111 121 211 221
1 12 22 112 122 212 222
2 13 23 113 123 213 223
