Data Union

Combine multiple sources into a single analysis pipeline.

Technical Specification //

  • Understanding pd.concat
  • Stacking logic
  • Duplicate index handling

Data rarely comes in a single file. Whether you're combining monthly logs or merging user profiles with purchase history, Pandas gives you the power to unify data sources into a single, cohesive view.

1Concatenation: The Stacker

Concatenation is the process of 'stacking' DataFrames. You can stack them vertically (adding more rows) or horizontally (adding more columns). It's the simplest way to unify datasets with identical structures.

2Merging: SQL-Style Joins

Merging is more precise. It allows you to combine DataFrames based on common values in specific columns (keys). This behaves exactly like SQL joins, supporting inner, outer, left, and right logic.
