Changing pandas index to column headings

Question

I have a dataframe with my index as years, and one column of integer entries. I want to change my index into column headings. I have this structure for several small dataframes, which I will attach to a larger dataframe.

         1
0         
2021  4365
2020  5812
2019  6773
2018  6681
2017  6809
2016  6776
2015  6587
2014  5978

How can I turn this into:

       2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014
Amount 4365 5812 6773 6681 6809 6776 6587 5978

I'm afraid I don't know where to begin, and I can't find any examples of this online. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I have your df :

print(df)

         1
0         
2021  4365
2020  5812
2019  6773
2018  6681
2017  6809
2016  6776
2015  6587
2014  5978

And used T to transpose, and pandas.DataFrame.rename the index.

res = df.T
res.rename(index={1: "Amount"},inplace=True)

print(res)

        2021  2020  2019  2018  2017  2016  2015  2014
Amount  4365  5812  6773  6681  6809  6776  6587  5978

Perhaps this gets you what you need.

Answer 2

Did you transpose your dataframe?

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame([1,2],[3,4])
print(df.T)
