Flatten all levels of MultiIndex

In this method, we are going to flat all levels of the dataframe by using the reset_index() function.

Syntax:

dataframe.reset_index(inplace=True)

Note: Dataframe is the input dataframe, we have to create the dataframe MultiIndex.

Syntax:

MultiIndex.from_tuples([(tuple1),.......,(tuple n),names=[column_names])

Arguments:

  • tuples are the values
  • column names are the names of columns in each tuple value

Example:

In this example, we will create a dataframe along with multiIndex and display it in the python programming language.

Python3




import pandas as pd
 
# create DataFrame multiIndex
data = pd.MultiIndex.from_tuples([('Web Programming', 'php', 'sub1'),
                                  ('Scripting', 'python', 'sub2'),
                                  ('networks', 'computer network', 'sub3'),
                                  ('architecture', 'computer organization', 'sub4'),
                                  ('coding', 'java', 'sub5')],
                                 names=['Course', 'Subject name', 'subject id'])
 
# create dataframe with student marks
data = pd.DataFrame({'ravi': [98, 89, 90, 88, 93],
                     'reshma': [78, 89, 80, 98, 63],
                     'sahithi': [78, 89, 80, 98, 63]}, 
                    index=data)
 
# display
data


Output:

Now, we will flatten the index of all levels:

Python3




import pandas as pd
 
# create DataFrame multiIndex
data = pd.MultiIndex.from_tuples([('Web Programming', 'php', 'sub1'),
                                  ('Scripting', 'python', 'sub2'),
                                  ('networks', 'computer network', 'sub3'),
                                  ('architecture', 'computer organization', 'sub4'),
                                  ('coding', 'java', 'sub5')],
                                 names=['Course', 'Subject name', 'subject id'])
 
# create dataframe with student marks
 
data = pd.DataFrame({'ravi': [98, 89, 90, 88, 93],
                     'reshma': [78, 89, 80, 98, 63],
                     'sahithi': [78, 89, 80, 98, 63]},
                    index=data)
 
 
# flatten the index of all levels
data.reset_index(inplace=True)
 
# display
data


Output:
