Pandas rename index

Question

I have the following dataframe, where I want to rename the index fromsummary to id:

summary  student  count 
0        error    6
1          


        

Answer 1

you need to access the index's properties

df.index.name = 'id'

original

         student  count
summary               
0         error      6
1           yes      1
2            no      1
3         other      9

fixed df:

    student  count
id               
0    error      6
1      yes      1
2       no      1
3    other      9

Update: seems like you had a name for the column's index. You should remove it with

df.columns.names = ''
