Add a new column in Pandas Data Frame Using a Dictionary

Pandas is basically the library in Python used for Data Analysis and Manipulation. To add a new Column in the data frame we have a variety of methods. But here in this post, we are discussing adding a new column by using the dictionary.

Let’s take Example!

Output:

  data 
0  0
1  1
2  2
3  3
4  4
5  5
6  6

Now Using the above-written method lets try to add a new column to it. Let’s add the New columns named as “new_data_1”.
Map Function : Adding column “new_data_1” by giving the functionality of getting week name for the column named “data”. Call map and pass the dict, this will perform a lookup and return the associated value for that key.

Let’s Introduce variable week data typed as Dictionary that includes the name of days in the week.

Output:

  data  new_data_1
0  0  Sunday
1  1  Monday
2  2  Tuesday
3  3  Wednesday
4  4  Thursday
5  5  Friday
6  6  Saturday

And, we have successfully added a column (Sunday, Monday….) at the end.
