Drop Rows that Contain Values in a List

By using this method we can drop multiple values present in the list, we are using isin() operator. This operator is used to check whether the given value is present in the list or not

Syntax: dataframe[dataframe.column_name.isin(list_of_values) == False]

where

  • dataframe is the input dataframe
  • column_name is to remove values in this column
  • list_of_values is the specific values to be removed

Python3




# import pandas module
import pandas as pd
 
# create dataframe with 4 columns
data = pd.DataFrame({
 
    "name": ['sravan', 'jyothika', 'harsha', 'ramya',
             'sravan', 'jyothika', 'harsha', 'ramya',
             'sravan', 'jyothika', 'harsha', 'ramya'],
    "subjects": ['java', 'java', 'java', 'python',
                 'python', 'python', 'html/php',
                 'html/php', 'html/php', 'php/js',
                 'php/js', 'php/js'],
    "marks": [98, 79, 89, 97, 82, 98, 90, 87,
              78, 89, 93, 94]
})
 
# consider the list
list1 = [98, 82, 79]
 
# drop rows from above list
print(data[data.marks.isin(list1) == False])
 
print("---------------")
 
list2 = ['sravan', 'jyothika']
# drop rows from above list
print(data[data.name.isin(list2) == False])
