How to Convert a pandas DataFrame to a Series

In this tutorial, you will learn how to convert a pandas DataFrame to a Series.

TLDR solution

# if single-column df
df.squeeze()
# or just select a column
df['column']

Example 1: When You Have a Single-Column DataFrame

Use squeeze:

import pandas as pd

data = {'Fish': ['salmon', 'pufferfish', 'shark']}

df = pd.DataFrame(data)

print(type(df.squeeze()))

The output:

<class 'pandas.core.series.Series'>

Just select the column that you want to have as Series:

import pandas as pd

data = {'Fish': ['salmon', 'pufferfish', 'shark']}

df = pd.DataFrame(data)

print(type(df['Fish']))

The output:

<class 'pandas.core.series.Series'>

That's it! You just learned how to convert a DataFrame to a Series.
