Reshape MultiIndex dataframe to tabular format

Question

Given a sample MultiIndex:

idx = pd.MultiIndex.from_product([[0, 1, 2], [\'a\', \'b\', \'c\', \'d\']])    
df = pd.DataFrame({\'value\' : np.arange(12)}, ind         


        

Answer 1

By using get_level_values

pd.crosstab(df.index.get_level_values(0),df.index.get_level_values(1),values=df.value,aggfunc=np.sum)
Out[477]: 
col_0  a  b   c   d
row_0              
0      0  1   2   3
1      4  5   6   7
2      8  9  10  11
