concatenate two dataframes pandas column wise code example

Example 1: pandas concat two dataframes

# Concating Means putting frames on bottom of one another
#              ---   ---
#              |  df1  |
#              |  df2  |
# Concating => |   .   |
#              |   .   |
#              |  dfn  |
#              ---   ---
# Command : pd.concat([df1,df2,...,dfn])   ; df = a dataframe

df1 = pd.DataFrame({'A': ['A0', 'A1', 'A2', 'A3'],
                    'B': ['B0', 'B1', 'B2', 'B3'],
                    'C': ['C0', 'C1', 'C2', 'C3'],
                    'D': ['D0', 'D1', 'D2', 'D3']},
                     index=[0, 1, 2, 3])

df2 = pd.DataFrame({'A': ['A4', 'A5', 'A6', 'A7'],
                    'B': ['B4', 'B5', 'B6', 'B7'],
                    'C': ['C4', 'C5', 'C6', 'C7'],
                    'D': ['D4', 'D5', 'D6', 'D7']},
                     index=[4, 5, 6, 7])

df3 = pd.DataFrame({'A': ['A8', 'A9', 'A10', 'A11'],
                    'B': ['B8', 'B9', 'B10', 'B11'],
                    'C': ['C8', 'C9', 'C10', 'C11'],
                    'D': ['D8', 'D9', 'D10', 'D11']},
                     index=[8, 9, 10, 11])

frames = [df1, df2, df3]

result = pd.concat(frames)

# Note : use ignore_index=True if you need it in pd.concat

Example 2: concat dataframe from list of dataframe

import pandas as pd
df = pd.concat(list_of_dataframes)

Example 3: how to merge the dataframe in python row wise

In [1]: df1 = pd.DataFrame({'A': ['A0', 'A1', 'A2', 'A3'],
   ...:                     'B': ['B0', 'B1', 'B2', 'B3'],
   ...:                     'C': ['C0', 'C1', 'C2', 'C3'],
   ...:                     'D': ['D0', 'D1', 'D2', 'D3']},
   ...:                     index=[0, 1, 2, 3])
   ...: 

In [2]: df2 = pd.DataFrame({'A': ['A4', 'A5', 'A6', 'A7'],
   ...:                     'B': ['B4', 'B5', 'B6', 'B7'],
   ...:                     'C': ['C4', 'C5', 'C6', 'C7'],
   ...:                     'D': ['D4', 'D5', 'D6', 'D7']},
   ...:                      index=[4, 5, 6, 7])
   ...: 

In [3]: df3 = pd.DataFrame({'A': ['A8', 'A9', 'A10', 'A11'],
   ...:                     'B': ['B8', 'B9', 'B10', 'B11'],
   ...:                     'C': ['C8', 'C9', 'C10', 'C11'],
   ...:                     'D': ['D8', 'D9', 'D10', 'D11']},
   ...:                     index=[8, 9, 10, 11])
   ...: 

In [4]: frames = [df1, df2, df3]

In [5]: result = pd.concat(frames)

Example 4: how to join two dataframe in pandas based on two column

merged_df = left_df.merge(right_df, how='inner', left_on=["A", "B"], right_on=["A2","B2"])
