The validate parameter will help you check for these. Allows optional set logic along the other axes. One of the ‘gotchas’ with merges is when there are unknown/unintended duplicates in either of your datasets. Concatenate pandas objects along a particular axis.

validate: Do a sanity check on both of your datasets before you merge.

Simply, was this row only on the left side, right side, or was it shared by both? For database-like merging/joining of tables, use the merge function.

indicator (Default = False): Helpful function that will attribute each row to a specific DataFrame or both. Multiple tables can be concatenated both column-wise and row-wise using the concat function.

suffixes (Default=(‘_x’, ‘_y’): If you wanted to add a suffix (to help tell which columns came from which DataFrame) to the end of your newly-merged columns you can add them here.left_index/right_index: Alternatively, instead of specifying a column, if you column to join on sits within a DataFrame’s index, you can set left_index/right_index=True.left_on/right_on: If your columns to join on do not have the same name, no problem, simply pass their names into left_on (for your left dataset) and right_on (for your right dataset).

If they aren’t named the same, then try left_ or right_ on Method to access and manipulate data objects: Pandas.

You’ll use on when the two columns have the same name. Data structures: we have two common data object types in the Pandas library Series and DataFrames. The common column between your two datasets that you’d like to join on. on: Sometimes called merge/join ‘key’.For a tutorial on different types of joins, check out this resource. Do you want to keep all of your samples from your left df? Or your right? Maybe just where they have common rows. how (‘left’, ‘right’, ‘outer’, ‘inner’, default= ‘inner’): How will determine ‘how’ to join your two datasets together.This can be another DataFrame or named Series. You need to specify your other dataset in the right parameter. merge() is considered your ‘left’ dataset.
