pandas.DataFrame.reindex_axis

DataFrame.reindex_axis(labels, axis=0, method=None, level=None, copy=True, limit=None, fill_value=nan)

Conform input object to new index with optional filling logic, placing NA/NaN in locations having no value in the previous index. A new object is produced unless the new index is equivalent to the current one and copy=False

Parameters:

labels : array-like

New labels / index to conform to. Preferably an Index object to avoid duplicating data

axis : {0, 1, ‘index’, ‘columns’}

method : {None, ‘backfill’/’bfill’, ‘pad’/’ffill’, ‘nearest’}, optional

Method to use for filling holes in reindexed DataFrame:

• default: don’t fill gaps
• pad / ffill: propagate last valid observation forward to next valid
• backfill / bfill: use next valid observation to fill gap
• nearest: use nearest valid observations to fill gap

copy : boolean, default True

Return a new object, even if the passed indexes are the same

level : int or name

Broadcast across a level, matching Index values on the passed MultiIndex level

limit : int, default None

Maximum size gap to forward or backward fill

Returns:

reindexed : DataFrame
