How to pivot a dataframe with two columns with no index












3















I am trying to pivot my current two column dataframe which currently looks like this:



one   two
a 12
b 32
c 12


I want to pivot this resulting in neither column becoming the index. My expected result is:



 a   b   c 
12 32 12


a, b, and c are the new columns. 12, 32, 12 are the values in the row.



Thanks

          Use set_index to move column 'one' into the index, then use T to transpose.



          a.set_index('one').T


          Output:



          one   a   b   c
          two 12 32 12


          Info:



          <class 'pandas.core.frame.DataFrame'>
          Index: 1 entries, two to two
          Data columns (total 3 columns):
          a 1 non-null int64
          b 1 non-null int64
          c 1 non-null int64
          dtypes: int64(3)
          memory usage: 28.0+ bytes
          None

            If this is your input:



            a = pd.DataFrame([("a", 12), ("b", 32), ("c", 12)], columns=["one", "two"])
            one two
            0 a 12
            1 b 32
            2 c 12


            Then a.transpose() results in this:



                  0   1   2
            one a b c
            two 12 32 12


            Is this what you were looking for?

            Giving everything the same index with .pivot_table



            df.pivot_table(columns='one', index=df.index//len(df), values='two').rename_axis(None, axis=1)

            #or with pivot
