pyspark.pandas.Series.xs#

Series.xs(key, level=None)[source]#

Return cross-section from the Series.

This method takes a key argument to select data at a particular level of a MultiIndex.

Parameters
keylabel or tuple of label

Label contained in the index, or partially in a MultiIndex.

levelobject, defaults to first n levels (n=1 or len(key))

In case of a key partially contained in a MultiIndex, indicate which levels are used. Levels can be referred by label or position.

Returns
Series

Cross-section from the original Series corresponding to the selected index levels.

Examples

>>> midx = pd.MultiIndex([['a', 'b', 'c'],
...                       ['lama', 'cow', 'falcon'],
...                       ['speed', 'weight', 'length']],
...                      [[0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2],
...                       [0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2],
...                       [0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2]])
>>> s = ps.Series([45, 200, 1.2, 30, 250, 1.5, 320, 1, 0.3],
...               index=midx)
>>> s
a  lama    speed      45.0
           weight    200.0
