convert series returned by pandas.Series.value_counts to a dictionary

Question

I am trying to use pandas.Series.value_counts to get the frequency of values in a dataframe, so I go through each column and get values_count , which gives me a series:

Answer 1

Extract keys and values for the dictionary from your_column and then zip it together.

values = df['your_column'].value_counts(dropna=False).keys().tolist()
counts = df['your_column'].value_counts(dropna=False).tolist()
value_dict = dict(zip(values, counts))
