How to collapse Pandas Dataframe Columns and Concatenate Strings
I have a Data Frame df0 with n columns. Only one of the columns contains a string, all other columns are empty or contain the "" string. Is it possible to collapse the data frame into a single column data frame where for each row I get the non-empty element? df0: A B C 1 Car 2 Car 3 Bike 4 Car 5 Train 6 Train should give: 1 1 Car 2 Car 3 Bike 4 Car 5 Train 6 Train Maybe: >>> df.max(axis=1) 1 Car 2 Car 3 Bike 4 Car 5 Train 6 Train dtype: object which is a Series , not a DataFrame , but you could make one using df.max(axis=1).to_frame(1) or something. If they are empty strings rather than NaN
