df = pd.DataFrame({'index': 1 , 2],
'artist': ['Elton John', 'Biffy Clyro'],
'song': ['Rocket Man', 'Bubbles']
'id': ['B12, U6, Z5', 'H91, D293, P292']})
I need to explode these so that it looks like this:
| index | artist | song | id |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Elton John | Rocket Man | B12 |
| 1 | Elton John | Rocket Man | U6 |
| 1 | Elton John | Rocket Man | Z5 |
| 2 | Biffy Clyro | Bubbles | H91 |
| 2 | Biffy Clyro | Bubbles | D293 |
| 2 | Biffy Clyro | Bubbles | P292 |
I ran this code in line with this question I found:
df['id'] = df['id'].str.split(", ")
df.explode('id')
But alas! It returned the same as before but with the spaces in the id column removed, so it looked like this:
| index | artist | song | id |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Elton John | Rocket Man | B12,U6,Z5 |
| 2 | Biffy Clyro | Bubbles | H91,D293,P292 |
If I tack the second line of code onto the first as I saw suggested in another thread it just gives me one id.
```
df['id'] = df['id'].str.split(", ").explode('id')
```
| index | artist | song | id |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Elton John | Rocket Man | B12 |
| 2 | Biffy Clyro | Bubbles | H91 |
What am I doing wrong?
