how to select a range of columns in pandas code example

Example 1: how to keep only certain columns in dataframe

# Using DataFrame.drop
df.drop(df.columns[[1, 2]], axis=1, inplace=True)

# drop by Name
df1 = df1.drop(['B', 'C'], axis=1)

# Select the ones you want
df1 = df[['a','d']]

Example 2: select columns pandas

df1 = df.iloc[:,0:2] # Remember that Python does not slice inclusive of the ending index.

Example 3: python pandas selecting multiple columns

# Import pandas package 
import pandas as pd 
  
# Define a dictionary containing employee data 
data = {'Name':['Jai', 'Princi', 'Gaurav', 'Anuj'], 
        'Age':[27, 24, 22, 32], 
        'Address':['Delhi', 'Kanpur', 'Allahabad', 'Kannauj'], 
        'Qualification':['Msc', 'MA', 'MCA', 'Phd']} 
  
# Convert the dictionary into DataFrame  
df = pd.DataFrame(data) 
  
# select two columns 
df[['Name', 'Qualification']]
