How to add a new variable to an existing data frame, but I want to add to the front not end. eg. my dataframe is
b c d 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 I want to add a new variable a, so the dataframe will looks like
a b c d 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3

Answer. Yes, you can add a new column in a specified position into a dataframe, by specifying an index and using the insert() function. By default, adding a column will always add it as the last column of a dataframe. This will insert the column at index 2, and fill it with the data provided by data .
In pandas you can add/append a new column to the existing DataFrame using DataFrame. insert() method, this method updates the existing DataFrame with a new column. DataFrame. assign() is also used to insert a new column however, this method returns a new Dataframe after adding a new column.
insert() method – Use insert() method when you want to insert a column in a specific index position of the dataframe. datafame. assign() method – Use assign() method when you want to insert a column and create a new dataframe out of it rather inserting a new column in the same dataframe.
1: By declaring a new list as a column. df['New_Column']='value' will add the new column and set all rows to that value. In this example, we will create a dataframe df and add a new column with the name Course to it. "A value is trying to be set on a copy of a slice from a DataFrame" .
Use cbind e.g.
df <- data.frame(b = runif(6), c = rnorm(6)) cbind(a = 0, df) giving:
> cbind(a = 0, df) a b c 1 0 0.5437436 -0.1374967 2 0 0.5634469 -1.0777253 3 0 0.9018029 -0.8749269 4 0 0.1649184 -0.4720979 5 0 0.6992595 0.6219001 6 0 0.6907937 -1.7416569 
df <- data.frame(b = c(1, 1, 1), c = c(2, 2, 2), d = c(3, 3, 3)) df ## b c d ## 1 1 2 3 ## 2 1 2 3 ## 3 1 2 3 df <- data.frame(a = c(0, 0, 0), df) df ## a b c d ## 1 0 1 2 3 ## 2 0 1 2 3 ## 3 0 1 2 3 If you love us?
