In PANDAS how to get the index of a known value

Question

If we have a known value in a column  how can we get its index-value  For example     In  148   a   pd DataFrame np arange 10  reshape 5 2  columns   c1   c2    In  149   a Out 149         c1  c2 0   0   1 1   2   3 2   4   5            As we know  we can get a value by the index corresponding to it  like this   In  151   a ix 0 1     In  152   a c2 0    In  154   a c2 ix 0     lt --  use index Out 151   1            Out 152   1         Out 154   1             lt --  get value   But how to get the index by value

The other way around using numpy where      import numpy as np import pandas as pd  In  800   df   pd DataFrame np arange 10  reshape 5 2  columns   c1   c2     In  801   df Out 801       c1  c2 0   0   1 1   2   3 2   4   5 3   6   7 4   8   9  In  802   np where df  c1    6  Out 802    array  3      In  803   indices   list np where df  c1    6  0    In  804   df iloc indices  Out 804       c1  c2 3   6   7  In  805   df iloc indices  index Out 805   Int64Index  3   dtype  int64    In  806   df iloc indices  index tolist   Out 806    3

There might be more than one index map to your value  it make more sense to return a list   In  48   a Out 48       c1  c2 0   0   1 1   2   3 2   4   5 3   6   7 4   8   9  In  49   a c1 a c1    8  index tolist   Out 49    4

To get the index by value  simply add   index 0   to the end of a query  This will return the index of the first row of the result     So  applied to your dataframe   In  1   a a  c2      1  index 0      In  2   a a  c1    gt  7  index 0     Out 1   0                            Out 2   4                            Where the query returns more than one row  the additional index results can be accessed by specifying the desired index  e g   index n   In  3   a a  c2    gt   7  index 1      In  4   a  a  c2    gt  1   amp   a  c1    lt  8   index 2    Out 3   4                            Out 4   3

Using the  loc   accessor   In  25   a loc a  c1      8  index 0  Out 25   4   Can also use the get loc   by setting  c1  as the index  This will not change the original dataframe   In  17   a set index  c1   index get loc 8  Out 17   4

I think this may help you   both index and columns of the values   value you are looking for is not duplicated   poz matrix matrix  minv  dropna axis 1 how  all   dropna how  all   value poz iloc 0 0  index poz index item   column poz columns item     you can get its index and column  duplicated   matrix pd DataFrame   1 1   1 np NAN   index   q   g   columns   f   h    matrix Out 83       f    h q  1  1 0 g  1  NaN poz matrix matrix  minv  dropna axis 1 how  all   dropna how  all   index poz stack   index tolist   index Out 87      q    f      q    h      g    f      you will get a list
