How to get row number in dataframe in Pandas?
To get all indices that matches 'Smith'
>>> df[df['LastName'] == 'Smith'].index
Int64Index([1], dtype='int64')
or as a numpy array
>>> df[df['LastName'] == 'Smith'].index.to_numpy() # .values on older versions
array([1])
or if there is only one and you want the integer, you can subset
>>> df[df['LastName'] == 'Smith'].index[0]
1
You could use the same boolean expressions with .loc
, but it is not needed unless you also want to select a certain column, which is redundant when you only want the row number/index.
df.loc[df.LastName == 'Smith']
will return the row
ClientID LastName
1 67 Smith
and
df.loc[df.LastName == 'Smith'].index
will return the index
Int64Index([1], dtype='int64')
NOTE: Column names 'LastName' and 'Last Name' or even 'lastname' are three unique names. The best practice would be to first check the exact name using df.columns. If you really need to strip the column names of all the white spaces, you can first do
df.columns = [x.strip().replace(' ', '') for x in df.columns]
df.index[df.LastName == 'Smith']
Or
df.query('LastName == "Smith"').index
Will return all row indices where LastName
is Smith
Int64Index([1], dtype='int64')
