I'm working on these huge dataset - so I was selecting a special type of data but also the index of the selected rows was taken over. i.e
df = pd.DataFrame({'a': [2016,2016,2016,2016,2016,2016,2016,2016,2016,2016],
'b' : [32,31,32,31,31,32,32,32,32,32],
'c':[6,7,12,12,23,1,2,67,8,34})
a b c
0 2016 32 6
1 2016 31 7
2 2016 32 12
3 2016 31 12
4 2016 31 23
5 2016 32 1
6 2016 32 2
7 2016 32 67
8 2016 32 8
9 2016 32 34
df_new = df[df.b == 31]
a b c
1 2016 31 7
3 2016 31 12
4 2016 31 23
after reducing my Dataframe I've no idea how to reindex my new collection of data. I tried .reindex, .reset_index, .set_index ... I still can't get away from my old index. Do someone got a solution for this issue? Cheers and thanks
