Here is a list of some basic and commonly used functions in the Pandas library:

1. **Creating DataFrames:**
- `pd.DataFrame(data)`: Create a DataFrame from a dictionary,
list, or another DataFrame.

2. **Reading and Writing Data:**


- `pd.read_csv('file.csv')`: Read a CSV file into a DataFrame.
- `df.to_csv('file.csv')`: Write a DataFrame to a CSV file.
- `pd.read_excel('file.xlsx')`: Read an Excel file into a DataFrame.
- `df.to_excel('file.xlsx')`: Write a DataFrame to an Excel file.
- `pd.read_json('file.json')`: Read a JSON file into a DataFrame.
- `df.to_json('file.json')`: Write a DataFrame to a JSON file.

3. **Data Inspection:**
- `df.head(n)`: Return the first `n` rows of the DataFrame.
- `df.tail(n)`: Return the last `n` rows of the DataFrame.
- `df.info()`: Print a concise summary of the DataFrame.
- `df.describe()`: Generate descriptive statistics.

4. **Indexing and Selecting Data:**


- `df['column_name']`: Select a single column.
- `df[['col1', 'col2']]`: Select multiple columns.
- `df.loc[row_indexer, column_indexer]`: Access a group of rows
and columns by labels.
- `df.iloc[row_indexer, column_indexer]`: Access a group of rows
and columns by integer position.

5. **Data Cleaning:**
- `df.dropna()`: Remove missing values.
- `df.fillna(value)`: Fill missing values with a specified value.
- `df.drop(columns=['col1', 'col2'])`: Drop specified columns.
- `df.rename(columns={'old_name': 'new_name'})`: Rename
columns.
6. **Data Manipulation:**
- `df.sort_values(by='column_name')`: Sort the DataFrame by a
specified column.
- `df.groupby('column_name')`: Group the DataFrame using a
column.
- `df.merge(other_df, on='key')`: Merge DataFrames on a key
column.
- `df.concat([df1, df2])`: Concatenate DataFrames.

7. **Aggregation and Transformation:**


- `df.mean()`: Calculate the mean of each column.
- `df.sum()`: Calculate the sum of each column.
- `df.min()`: Calculate the minimum value of each column.
- `df.max()`: Calculate the maximum value of each column.
- `df.apply(func)`: Apply a function along an axis of the
DataFrame.

8. **Date and Time Functions:**


- `pd.to_datetime(df['date_column'])`: Convert a column to
datetime.
- `df['date_column'].dt.year`: Extract the year from a datetime
column.
- `df['date_column'].dt.month`: Extract the month from a datetime
column.

9. **Pivoting and Reshaping:**


- `df.pivot(index='col1', columns='col2', values='col3')`: Pivot a
DataFrame.
- `df.melt(id_vars=['col1'], value_vars=['col2', 'col3'])`: Unpivot a
DataFrame.

10. **Visualization:**
- `df.plot()`: Basic plotting of DataFrame columns.

These functions should cover a wide range of basic operations you might need when
working with Pandas.
