Pandas dataframe hide index functionality?

Question

Is it possible to hide the index when displaying pandas DataFrames, so that only the column names appear at the top of the table?

This would need to work for both the html representation in ipython notebook and to_latex() function (which I'm using with nbconvert).

Answer 1

Set index=False

For ipython notebook:

print df.to_string(index=False)

For to_latex:

df.to_latex(index=False)

Answer 2

As has been pointed out by @waitingkuo, index=False is what you need. If you want to keep the nice table layout within your ipython notebook, you can use:

from IPython.display import display, HTML
display(HTML(df.to_html(index=False)))

Answer 3

Starting from v. 0.17.1 it is possible to hide the index via styling, see hiding the index or colums: if df is your Data Frame just do

df.style.hide_index()

Please note that styling works only in the notebook, and not within the LaTeX conversion.

Answer 4

I added the following cell to my notebook which works fine in Jupyter 4.0.2.

Note: It removes the first column of 'any' table even when there is no index.

# Execute this cell to remove the first column of dataframe tables (to remove index column)
from IPython.core.display import HTML
HTML("""
<style>
    table.dataframe thead th:first-child {
        display: none;
    }
    table.dataframe tbody th {
        display: none;
    }
</style>
""")

Answer 5

You just try this code, might help you.

dataframe.style.hide_index()

Answer 6

Set index=False.

E.g:

DataFrame.to_csv("filename", index=False)

This will work.
