pandas.DataFrame.multiply

DataFrame.multiply(other, axis='columns', level=None, fill_value=None)

Get Multiplication of dataframe and other, element-wise (binary operator mul).

Equivalent to dataframe * other, but with support to substitute a fill_value for missing data in one of the inputs. With reverse version, rmul.

Among flexible wrappers (add, sub, mul, div, mod, pow) to arithmetic operators: +, -, *, /, //, %, **.

Parameters

otherscalar, sequence, Series, dict or DataFrame

Any single or multiple element data structure, or list-like object.

axis{0 or ‘index’, 1 or ‘columns’}

Whether to compare by the index (0 or ‘index’) or columns. (1 or ‘columns’). For Series input, axis to match Series index on.

levelint or label

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

fill_valuefloat or None, default None

Fill existing missing (NaN) values, and any new element needed for successful DataFrame alignment, with this value before computation. If data in both corresponding DataFrame locations is missing the result will be missing.

Returns

DataFrame

Result of the arithmetic operation.
