# Pass a dataframe into Mito

#### Import Python Packages

To import a dataframe into Mito, we need the Mito and pandas packages. Both are distributed through the Mito installer. If you have not yet installed Mito, follow the instructions [here](/getting-started/installing-mito.md). 

```python
# Import Python packages
import mitosheet 
import pandas as pd
```

#### Create the Pandas Dataframes 

Using Pandas, you can create dataframes by [reading csv files](https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.read_csv.html), [Excel files](https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.read_excel.html), or even [querying an SQL database](https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.read_sql_query.html). 

For the purposes of this tutorial, we will create two sample dataframes. 

```python
# Create some simple data to display 
train_stations = pd.DataFrame({'Zip': [21001, 97321, 49224, 87102, 24910, 22301], 'City': ['Aberdeen', 'Albany', 'Albion', 'Albuquerque', 'Alderson', 'Alexandria'], 'State': ['MD', 'OR', 'MI', 'NM', 'WV', 'VA'], 'Ticket_Office': ['N', 'Y', 'N', 'Y', 'N', 'Y']}) 
demographics = pd.DataFrame({'Zip': [21001, 97321, 49224, 87102, 24910, 22301], 'Median_Income': [53979.0, 112924.0, 37556.0, 28388.0, 30914.0, 54087.0], 'Mean_Income': [66169.0, 147076.0, 50371.0, 39529.0, 40028.0, 64068.0], 'Pop': [18974.0, 11162.0, 14900.0, 22204.0, 5383.0, 19504.0]})
```

#### Pass the dataframes into Mito

To import the dataframe into Mito, just provide it as an argument to the mitosheet.sheet() function call. 

```python
# Render the Mitosheet with the data
mitosheet.sheet(train_stations, demographics)
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.trymito.io/how-to-1/pass-a-dataframe-into-mito.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
