拆栈MultiIndex数据框

Question

I am writting a test case with this multi-index data frame but I am unable to unstack. The following function produces exactly the layout I am reading from an excel file just this like this sample: Sample file

def mocked_df():
    people = ['USER 1', 'USER 2', 'USER 3',
              'USER 4', 'USER 5', 'USER 6']
    flag_and_states = [['A', 'B'], ['AL', 'AR', 'CA', 'CO']]

    # Building multi-index frame
    index = pd.MultiIndex.from_product([people])
    columns = pd.MultiIndex.from_product(flag_and_states, names=['Flag', 'Name'])
    data = [[1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
            [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0],
            [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0],
            [0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
            [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0],
            [0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0]]

    # Return data frame with multi-index
    return pd.DataFrame(
        columns=columns,
        index=index,
        data=data
    )

After this I am trying to unstack the data frame:

df = mocked_df()
df = df.unstack().reset_index()

But I have the following error:

ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 0)

Any ideas? The same unstack call works when used on the sample Excel file also.

Thank you very much!

Here is problem one level MultiIndex in index, so unstack failed with very weird errors.

print (df.index.nlevels)
1
#correct 2 level MultiIndex in columns
print (df.columns.nlevels)
2

print (df.index)
MultiIndex([('USER 1',),
            ('USER 2',),
            ('USER 3',),
            ('USER 4',),
            ('USER 5',),
            ('USER 6',)],
           )

#correct 2 level MultiIndex in columns
print (df.columns)
MultiIndex([('A', 'AL'),
            ('A', 'AR'),
            ('A', 'CA'),
            ('A', 'CO'),
            ('B', 'AL'),
            ('B', 'AR'),
            ('B', 'CA'),
            ('B', 'CO')],
           names=['Flag', 'Name'])

Solution is create index by list only index = people , because in index is no MultiIndex :

def mocked_df():
    people = ['USER 1', 'USER 2', 'USER 3',
              'USER 4', 'USER 5', 'USER 6']
    flag_and_states = [['A', 'B'], ['AL', 'AR', 'CA', 'CO']]

    # Building multi-index frame
    index = people
    columns = pd.MultiIndex.from_product(flag_and_states, names=['Flag', 'Name'])
    data = [[1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
            [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0],
            [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0],
            [0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
            [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0],
            [0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0]]

    # Return data frame with multi-index
    return pd.DataFrame(
        columns=columns,
        index=index,
        data=data
    )

Then unstack working correctly:

df = mocked_df()
df = df.unstack().reset_index()
print (df.head(10))
  Flag Name level_2  0
0    A   AL  USER 1  1
1    A   AL  USER 2  0
2    A   AL  USER 3  0
3    A   AL  USER 4  0
4    A   AL  USER 5  0
5    A   AL  USER 6  0
6    A   AR  USER 1  0
7    A   AR  USER 2  0
8    A   AR  USER 3  0
9    A   AR  USER 4  0

您没有提供所需的输出，如果尝试以下操作会如何：

df = df.stack().reset_index()
