Dropping duplicates in Pandas excluding one column

Question

This seems simple, but I can not find any information on it on the internet

I have a dataframe like below

City    State Zip           Date        Des         


        

Answer 1

You've actually found the solution. For multiple columns, subset will be a list.

df.drop_duplicates(subset=['City', 'State', 'Zip', 'Date']) 

Or, just by stating the column to be ignored:

df.drop_duplicates(subset=df.columns.difference(['Description']))
