Pandas series is a One-dimensional ndarray with axis labels. The labels need not be unique but must be a hashable type. The object supports both integer- and label-based indexing and provides a host of methods for performing operations involving the index. Pandas Series.set_value() function is used to set value of the given series object using the index labels.
Syntax: Series.set_value(label, value, takeable=False) Parameter : label : Partial indexing with MultiIndex not allowed value : Scalar value takeable : interpret the index as indexers, default False Returns : series
Example #1: Use Series.set_value() function to set the value in the given series object using the index labels. Python3
# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd

# Creating the Series
sr = pd.Series(['New York', 'Chicago', 'Toronto', 'Lisbon', 'Rio', 'Moscow'])

# Create the Index
index_ = ['City 1', 'City 2', 'City 3', 'City 4', 'City 5', 'City 6']

# set the index
sr.index = index_

# Print the series
print(sr)
Output : Now we will use Series.set_value() function to set the value corresponding to the passed index label. Python3 1==
# set the value
sr.set_value('City 2', 'Dublin')
Output : As we can see in the output, the Series.set_value() function has successfully set the value of the passed index label.   Example #2: Use Series.set_value() function to set the value in the given series object using the index labels. Python3
# importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd

# Creating the Series
sr = pd.Series([100, 25, 32, 118, 24, 65])

# Print the series
print(sr)
Output : Now we will use Series.set_value() function to set the value in the given series object. Python3 1==
# set the value to 1000 of
# the passed index label
sr.set_value(3, 1000)
Output : As we can see in the output, the Series.set_value() function has successfully set the value of the passed index label.
