How to Create New Rows in Pandas DataFrame Using Looping Techniques

If you’re working with data in Python, especially using the Pandas library, you may encounter a scenario where you need to add multiple rows to a DataFrame based on a defined pattern. In the current example, we're looking to generate new rows by incrementally adding to the values of an initial row until we reach a specified number of rows—3000 in this case. The challenge lies in doing this efficiently and without the hassle of manually creating extensive lists.

The Problem

Imagine you have an initial list of values that serves as a reference point:

You need to create a DataFrame that extends these values by continuously adding 1 to each element of the previous row until you have 3000 rows. Doing this through manual entry or iterating in a way that builds the DataFrame row by row would not only be inefficient but also impractical.

Example Input and Desired Output

Input:

Initial row values: [4, 7, 3, 5]

Output:

A DataFrame that may look something like this:

The Solution

There are multiple ways you can achieve the desired structure, but using NumPy can significantly simplify the process. Let’s break down the approach into manageable steps.

Method 1: Using NumPy for Efficient Row Creation

Import Necessary Libraries:

Method 2: Reindexing and Cumulative Sum

An alternative approach involves creating a single-row DataFrame, reindexing it to expand, and then calculating the cumulative sums.

Conclusion

By using the methods above, especially leveraging NumPy for its speed and efficiency, you can easily and effectively create a DataFrame with thousands of rows without the excessive overhead of manual looping. Choose the approach that best fits your workflow, and enjoy the efficiency that Pandas and NumPy provide in data manipulation tasks.
