raise ValueError("cannot reindex on an axis with duplicate labels") ValueError: cannot reindex on an axis with duplicate labels

当你尝试对 Pandas 数据框（DataFrame）进行索引操作，如重新排序（reindexing），并且目标索引存在重复标签时，就会抛出 `ValueError` 异常，提示 "cannot reindex on an axis with duplicate labels"。这是因为Pandas不允许在一个轴（通常指行或列）上有重复的标签，因为这可能导致数据的唯一标识不清。

例如，如果你有如下数据框，试图按照 "label" 列进行重置索引，如果 "label" 列中有重复值，你会遇到这个问题：

df = pd.DataFrame({'A': [1, 2, 3], 'B': [4, 5, 6], 'label': ['a', 'b', 'a']})

尝试重置索引：

df = df.set_index('label')

由于 "label" 列的 'a' 存在两次，这将导致错误。

解决这个问题的一种方法是在重索引之前删除重复标签，或者选择一个唯一的标识符来替换重复的标签。例如：

df = df.drop_duplicates(subset='label', keep='first')  # 或者指定其他保持策略
df = df.set_index('label')

raise ValueError("cannot reindex on an axis with duplicate labels") E ValueError: cannot reindex on an axis with duplicate labels

This error occurs when you try to reindex a pandas DataFrame or Series on an axis (rows or columns) that has duplicate labels. In other words, there are two or more rows or columns with the same label, and pandas cannot determine which one to keep.

To fix this error, you need to ensure that all labels on the axis are unique. You can do this by either:

1. Removing duplicate labels: You can use the `drop_duplicates()` method to remove duplicate labels from the DataFrame or Series. For example, `df.drop_duplicates(inplace=True)` will remove any rows with duplicate labels from the DataFrame `df`.

2. Renaming labels: If you have two or more labels that are the same, you can rename one or more of them to make them unique. You can use the `rename()` method to do this. For example, `df.rename(columns={'duplicate_label': 'new_label'}, inplace=True)` will rename the column with label `'duplicate_label'` to `'new_label'`.

Once you have made sure that all labels on the axis are unique, you can reindex the DataFrame or Series without encountering this error.

ValueError: cannot reindex on an axis with duplicate labels

This error occurs when you try to reindex a pandas DataFrame or Series on an axis (rows or columns) that has duplicate labels.

For example, if you have a DataFrame with two rows that have the same label and you try to reindex it with a new set of labels, you will get this error:

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({'A': [1, 2], 'B': [3, 4]}, index=['a', 'a'])
df.reindex(['a', 'b', 'c'])

Output:

ValueError: cannot reindex from a duplicate axis

To fix this error, you need to first remove the duplicate labels from the axis you want to reindex. One way to do this is to use the `drop_duplicates()` method on the index or columns of the DataFrame or Series:

df = df[~df.index.duplicated(keep='first')]
df.reindex(['a', 'b', 'c'])

Output:

      A    B
a   1.0  3.0
b   NaN  NaN
c   NaN  NaN

In this example, the `~df.index.duplicated(keep='first')` returns a boolean array that is `True` for the first occurrence of each label in the index and `False` for any subsequent occurrence of the same label. The `~` operator negates this boolean array so that it becomes `True` for all unique labels in the index. Finally, we use this boolean array to select only the rows of the DataFrame that have unique labels.
