Filtering multiple items in a multi-index Python Panda dataframe

Question

I have the following table:

Note: Both NSRCODE and PBL_AWI are index\'s

Note: the % Of area column would be filled out just have not done so yet.

<         


        

Answer 1

Another (maybe cleaner) way might be this one:

print(df[df.index.isin(['Lake', 'River', 'Upland'], level=1)])

The parameter level specifies the index number (starting with 0) or index name (here: level='PBL_AWI')
