Create Pandas Series with Custom index

Contents hide

Create Pandas Series with custom index using “Series” method of Pandas library and index parameter.
In this Pandas tutorial we are creating a list of colors and using that list we create a pandas series. Pandas series objects have immense use in single column data like time series data and custom indexing makes data wrangling much easier.

# Imports 
import pandas as pd

# Let's create a series
color = ['Red', 'Blue', 'Green', 'Red', 'Yellow']

s = pd.Series(color)
s

0       Red
1      Blue
2     Green
3       Red
4    Yellow
dtype: object

s100 = pd.Series(color, index=[100,101,102,103,104])
s100

100       Red
101      Blue
102     Green
103       Red
104    Yellow
dtype: object

# Get Index
s100.index

Int64Index([100, 101, 102, 103, 104], dtype='int64')
