KeyError: "['title'] not in index"

Question

I am using the netlix_dataset to learn python. I am trying to split director names based on comma and create new dataframe. I am getting the error, saying title is not in index. Please help.

df =pd.read_csv("/content/sample_data/netflix_titles.csv",index_col=0)

splitters = df['director'].apply(lambda x: str(x).split(',')).tolist()

df_director = pd.DataFrame(splitters,index=df['title']).stack()

df_director3 = pd.DataFrame(df_director)

df_director3.reset_index()

df_directors = df_director3[['title',0]]

df_directors

Answer 1

I assume that you want to split the director names into commas and create a new dataframe with the title and each individual director name.

Try to use reset_index() after stack() to make the index a regular column again, and then use rename() to give the new column a name:

# Split the director names on commas
splitters = df['director'].apply(lambda x: str(x).split(',')).tolist()

# Create a new DataFrame with stacked directors
df_director = pd.DataFrame(splitters, index=df['title']).stack().reset_index()
df_director = df_director.rename(columns={'level_1': 'director_index', 0: 'director'})

# Select the title and director columns
df_directors = df_director[['title', 'director']]

Here, we’re renaming the column level_1 (which was created by stack()) to director_index, and the column 0 to director. Finally, we’re selecting only the columns we want (title and director) in df_directors.

Assuming the input is:

{'title': ['Stranger Things', 'The Crown', 'House of Cards'],
    'director': ['Matt Duffer, Ross Duffer', 'Peter Morgan', 'Beau Willimon, David Fincher, Joel Schumacher']}

The output should be something like this:

                title            director
0  Stranger Things         Matt Duffer
1  Stranger Things         Ross Duffer
2        The Crown        Peter Morgan
3   House of Cards       Beau Willimon
4   House of Cards       David Fincher
5   House of Cards     Joel Schumacher

BTW, try to avoid posting data as images.
