Answer 1

Use pd.Series.isin :

>>> df.loc[df["Column"].isin(["4A", "C8", "C9"]),"New_Column"]="LCV"

Answer 2

Try:

values = ["C9", "4A", "C8"]
df.loc[df["Column"].isin(values), "New_Column"]="LCV"

Answer 3

I use apply function, and I passed to it a lambda function that will check each row if the column value is in the items it will put the "LVC" to the value of New_Column otherwise it will put None.

items = ["C9", "4A", "C8"]
df["New_Column"] = df.apply(lambda row: "LVC" if row.Column in items else None, axis = 1)
