In python how split the dataset column to multiple column

Question

How can we split month column into different columns?

Sample data:

    EmployeeId  City     join_month
0   001        Mumbai        1
1   001        Bangalore     3
2   002        Pune          2
3   002        Mumbai        6
4   003        Delhi         9
5   003        Mumbai        12
6   004        Bangalore     11
7   004        Pune          10
8   005        Mumbai         5

Need an output like

    EmployeeId  City     join_month    join_month_jan    jan_count  
0   001        Mumbai        1                 1/True         1 
1   001        Bangalore     3                 0/False      
2   002        Pune          2                 0/False          
3   002        Mumbai        6
4   003        Delhi         9
5   003        Mumbai        12
6   004        Bangalore     11
7   004        Pune          10
8   005        Mumbai         5

Answer 1

You can use get_dummies with add missing months by DataFrame.reindex , then rename columns and add to original DataFrame :

look_up = {1: 'jan', 2: 'feb', 3: 'mar', 4: 'apr', 5: 'may',
           6: 'jun', 7: 'jul', 8: 'aug', 9: 'sep',
           10: 'oct', 11: 'nov', 12: 'dec'}


df1 = (pd.get_dummies(df['join_month'])
         .reindex(range(1,13), axis=1, fill_value=0)
         .rename(columns=look_up)
         .add_prefix('join_month_'))
# print (df1)


df = df.join(df1)
print (df)
