Merging pandas dataframes with unnamed columns












0















Sorry if this is a duplicate, couldn't find an answer specific to what I'm asking.



I have df:



    Unnamed: 0         2018-11-15       2018-11-16
0 China 1.00 72.25
1 Mexico 5.00 60.07
2 USA 6.00 31.30


And I have df2:



    Unnamed: 0         2018-11-17       
0 China 6.00
1 Mexico 25.00
2 USA 2.00
3 Canada 0.00


I've tried merging them, but with no proper results. I'm trying to get an output that would resemble this:



     Unnamed: 0         2018-11-15       2018-11-16      2018-11-17  
0 China 1.00 72.25 6.00
1 Mexico 5.00 60.07 25.00
2 USA 6.00 31.30 2.00
3 Canada NaN NaN 0.00


And then the next day df2 could be:



    Unnamed: 0         2018-11-18       
0 China 14.00
1 Mexico 3.00
2 USA 0.00
3 Canada 5.00


And once merged with the previous output, nets me something like:



     Unnamed: 0         2018-11-15       2018-11-16      2018-11-17   2018-11-18 
0 China 1.00 72.25 6.00 14.00
1 Mexico 5.00 60.07 25.00 3.00
2 USA 6.00 31.30 2.00 0.00
3 Canada NaN NaN 0.00 5.00


And so on, and so on. I think I'm having trouble because this is being merged with an updated data frame once a day. And because the column that contains country names to merge on is unnamed. Any ideas?

  • Can you add the code you tried to merge?

  • df = pd.merge(df1, df2) , that was my last attempt, but if you try to merge df with different data as in my last example of df2, it outputs gibberish. Example, df3 = pd.merge(df2, df)

  • Please read in your data frames using pd.read_csv(..., index_col=[0]) to read in the first column as an index (instead of an unnamed column), then you'll be able to do df3 = df1.join(df2) (a merge on the index)
