In Python pandas, start row index from 1 instead of zero without creating additional column

Question

I know that I can reset the indices like so

df.reset_index(inplace=True)

but this will start the index from 0. I want to start

Answer 1

You can also specify the start value using index range like below. RangeIndex is supported in pandas.

#df.index

default value is printed, (start=0,stop=lastelement, step=1)

You can specify any start value range like this:

df.index = pd.RangeIndex(start=1, stop=600, step=1)
