Pandas DataFrame – Get rows at specified list of indices

Pandas DataFrame – Get Rows at Specified List of Indices

To get rows at specified list of indices from a DataFrame, call DataFrame.take() function and pass the list of indices as an argument.

Syntax

The syntax to get rows at specified indices [index1, index2, index3] from DataFrame df is

df.take([index1, index2, index3])

Examples

1. Get rows in DataFrame at indices [1, 3, 4]

In this example, we take a DataFrame with five rows, and get the rows at indices [1, 3, 4] using DataFrame.take() function.

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({'name':['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'],
                   'age' :[20, 21, 20, 19, 21]})
result = df.take([1, 3, 4])
print(result)

Output

  name  age
1    b   21
3    d   19
4    e   21

Summary

In this Pandas Tutorial, we learned how to get the rows at specified list of indices from a DataFrame.
