At first, let us create a Nested Dictionary −
dictNested = {'Cricket': {'Boards': ['BCCI', 'CA', 'ECB'],'Country': ['India', 'Australia', 'England']},'Football': {'Boards': ['TFA', 'TCSA', 'GFA'],'Country': ['England', 'Canada', 'Germany'] }}
Now, create an Empty Dictionary −
new_dict = {}
Now, loop to assign values −
for outerKey, innerDict in dictNested.items(): for innerKey, values in innerDict.items(): new_dict[(outerKey, innerKey)] = values
Convert to Multi-index DataFrame −
pd.DataFrame(new_dict)
Example
Following is the code −
import pandas as pd # Create Nested dictionary dictNested = {'Cricket': {'Boards': ['BCCI', 'CA', 'ECB'],'Country': ['India', 'Australia', 'England']},'Football': {'Boards': ['TFA', 'TCSA', 'GFA'],'Country': ['England', 'Canada', 'Germany'] }} print"\nNested Dictionary...\n",dictNested new_dict = {} for outerKey, innerDict in dictNested.items(): for innerKey, values in innerDict.items(): new_dict[(outerKey, innerKey)] = values # converting to multiindex dataframe print"\nMulti-index DataFrame...\n",pd.DataFrame(new_dict)
Output
This will produce the following output −
Nested Dictionary... {'Cricket': {'Country': ['India', 'Australia', 'England'], 'Boards': ['BCCI', 'CA', 'ECB']}, 'Football': {'Country': ['England', 'Canada', 'Germany'], 'Boards': ['TFA', 'TCSA', 'GFA']}} Multi-index DataFrame... Cricket Football Boards Country Boards Country 0 BCCI India TFA England 1 CA Australia TCSA Canada 2 ECB England GFA Germany
