split function in dataframe code example

Example 1: how to use split in pandas

import pandas as pd 

# new data frame with split value columns 
data["Team"]= data["Team"].str.split(" ", n = 1, expand = True) 

# df display 
data

Example 2: How to split a text column into two separate columns?

import pandas as pd 

df = pd.DataFrame(["STD, City    State",
"33, Kolkata    West Bengal",
"44, Chennai    Tamil Nadu",
"40, Hyderabad    Telengana",
"80, Bangalore    Karnataka"], columns=['row'])

out = pd.DataFrame(df.row.str.split(' ',2).tolist(),columns=['STD','City','State'])
out.drop(index=0,inplace=True)

Example 3: split a pd dataframe

In [255]: df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(5, 6), columns=list('abcdef'))

In [256]: df
