Hello Guys. I am a newbie in Python and I try to learn analytic data by using Pandas package. I have some lines of code as below:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
pointers = pd.DataFrame({'points': ['2022-01-10', '2022-02-13', '2022-03-15']})
assists = pd.DataFrame({'assists': ['5', '22', '31']}, index=[0, 1, 1])
pointers['pointsassists'] = pointers['points'] + ' ' + assists['assists']
print(pointers['pointsassists'])
But when run the code above I got an exception throw ValueError: cannot reindex from a duplicate axis .
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "HelloWorld.py", line 7, in <module>
wind['pointsassists'] = wind['points'] + ' ' + temp['assists']
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/pandas/core/frame.py", line 3044, in __setitem__

ValueError: cannot reindex from a duplicate axis
I am using Python 3.9.5 and windows 11. Thanks for any idea!!

You can use
reset_index()to help reset the index of DataFrame. Example below:pointers = pointers.reset_index(drop=True)And here is full code for you:
import pandas as pd import numpy as np pointers = pd.DataFrame({'points': ['2022-01-10', '2022-02-13', '2022-03-15']}) assists = pd.DataFrame({'assists': ['5', '22', '31']}, index=[0, 1, 1]) pointers = pointers.reset_index(drop=True) assists = assists.reset_index(drop=True) pointers['pointsassists'] = pointers['points'] + ' ' + assists['assists'] print(pointers['pointsassists'])#Output
0 2022-01-10 5 1 2022-02-13 22 2 2022-03-15 31 Name: pointsassists, dtype: objectI hope this answer is helpful for you.
