dataframe only some columns 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: how to pick out separate columns from the pandas dataframe object

df1 = df.iloc[:, 0:2] # If you want to do it by index. Remember that Python does not slice inclusive of the ending index.
df1 = df[['a', 'b']] ## if you want to do it b nae

Example 3: python: select specific columns in a data frame

df = df[["Column_Name1", "Column_Name2"]]

Example 4: how to get only certain columns in pandas

#only the column names specified will be put into the new sub df
#enter a minimum of one column name
print(df[['column_name_1', 'column_name_2', ... , 'column_name_n']])
