Answer 1

Use DataFrame.pivot without values parameter and then flatten MultiIndex :

df1 = df.pivot(index='company', columns='year_active')
#alternative
#df1 = df1.set_index(['company','year_active']).unstack()
df1.columns = df1.columns.map(lambda x: f'{x[0]}_{x[1]}')

Answer 2

df.pivot(index='company', columns='year_active', values=['spend', 'counts', 'distinct_counts])

尝试使用它，这将满足您的要求。
