PySpark - Create DataFrame from List Last Updated : 30 May, 2021 Comments Improve Suggest changes Like Article Like Report In this article, we are going to discuss how to create a Pyspark dataframe from a list. To do this first create a list of data and a list of column names. Then pass this zipped data to spark.createDataFrame() method. This method is used to create DataFrame. The data attribute will be the list of data and the columns attribute will be the list of names. dataframe = spark.createDataFrame(data, columns) Example1: Python code to create Pyspark student dataframe from two lists. Python3 # importing module import pyspark # importing sparksession from # pyspark.sql module from pyspark.sql import SparkSession # creating sparksession and giving # an app name spark = SparkSession.builder.appName('sparkdf').getOrCreate() # list of college data with two lists data = [["java", "dbms", "python"], ["OOPS", "SQL", "Machine Learning"]] # giving column names of dataframe columns = ["Subject 1", "Subject 2", "Subject 3"] # creating a dataframe dataframe = spark.createDataFrame(data, columns) # show data frame dataframe.show() Output: Example 2: Create a dataframe from 4 lists Python3 # importing module import pyspark # importing sparksession from # pyspark.sql module from pyspark.sql import SparkSession # creating sparksession and giving # an app name spark = SparkSession.builder.appName('sparkdf').getOrCreate() # list of college data with two lists data = [["node.js", "dbms", "integration"], ["jsp", "SQL", "trigonometry"], ["php", "oracle", "statistics"], [".net", "db2", "Machine Learning"]] # giving column names of dataframe columns = ["Web Technologies", "Data bases", "Maths"] # creating a dataframe dataframe = spark.createDataFrame(data, columns) # show data frame dataframe.show() Output: Comment S sravankumar_171fa07058 Follow 0 Improve S sravankumar_171fa07058 Follow 0 Improve Article Tags : Python Python-Pyspark Explore Python FundamentalsPython Introduction 2 min read Input and Output in Python 4 min read Python Variables 5 min read Python Operators 4 min read Python Keywords 2 min read Python Data Types 8 min read Conditional Statements in Python 3 min read Loops in Python - For, While and Nested Loops 5 min read Python Functions 5 min read Recursion in Python 4 min read Python Lambda Functions 5 min read Python Data StructuresPython String 5 min read Python Lists 4 min read Python Tuples 4 min read Python Dictionary 3 min read Python Sets 6 min read Python Arrays 7 min read List Comprehension in Python 4 min read Advanced PythonPython OOP Concepts 11 min read Python Exception Handling 5 min read File Handling in Python 4 min read Python Database Tutorial 4 min read Python MongoDB Tutorial 2 min read Python MySQL 9 min read Python Packages 10 min read Python Modules 7 min read Python DSA Libraries 15 min read List of Python GUI Library and Packages 3 min read Data Science with PythonNumPy Tutorial - Python Library 3 min read Pandas Tutorial 4 min read Matplotlib Tutorial 5 min read Python Seaborn Tutorial 15+ min read StatsModel Library - Tutorial 3 min read Learning Model Building in Scikit-learn 8 min read TensorFlow Tutorial 2 min read PyTorch Tutorial 6 min read Web Development with PythonFlask Tutorial 8 min read Django Tutorial | Learn Django Framework 7 min read Django ORM - Inserting, Updating & Deleting Data 4 min read Templating With Jinja2 in Flask 6 min read Django Templates 7 min read Python | Build a REST API using Flask 3 min read How to Create a basic API using Django Rest Framework ? 4 min read Python PracticePython Quiz 1 min read Python Coding Practice 1 min read Python Interview Questions and Answers 15+ min read Like
