Converting Dataframe to Pivot Format with Grouping Values into Lists
Converting Dataframe into Pivot with Grouping of Values into a List In this article, we will explore how to convert a dataframe into a pivot format where the distinct values are spread across different columns and against unique values. We’ll also delve into the process of grouping these values into lists. The Problem We have an existing excel sheet with values that needs to be transformed in a way that the distinct values I wish to collect are spread across different columns, and against the unique values I need to list (and eventually append) one of the column’s value.
