python – 使用date作为索引合并pandas数据帧

我正在尝试合并两个不同长度的数据帧(称为df1和df2),这两个数据帧都按其日期索引. dfs(df1)的较长时间内所有日期都列在两者中较短的一个(df2).我试图使用以下命令组合它们：merged = df2.merge(df1,on =’Date’),但是我得到以下错误,当我尝试这样做时我不明白.

KeyError: u'no item named Date'

我也尝试删除on =’Date’,因为两者都已被日期编入索引,但结果似乎相同.知道我可能会出错的地方吗？

解决方法:

我认为使用join是最自然的,因为默认情况下它会合并在索引上.如下所示：

merged = df2.join(df1,rsuffix='_y')

添加rsuffix =’_ y’,因为两个数据帧中都有共同的列名.
