Pandas - Convert dataframe format

Question

I'm looking how to convert from this format:

Date        Open        High        Low         Close       Adj Close   Volume                  
2020-01-22  167.399994  167.490005  165.679993  165.699997  163.963043  24138800

Into this:

            Open        High        Low         Close       Adj Close   Volume
Date                        
2020-01-22  167.399994  167.490005  165.679993  165.699997  163.963043  24138800

Answer 1

Try this:

df = df.set_index('Date')

Or you could do inplace like:

df.set_index('Date', inplace=True)

Then:

print(df)

Would give:

            Open        High        Low         Close       Adj Close   Volume
Date                        
2020-01-22  167.399994  167.490005  165.679993  165.699997  163.963043  24138800
