Gradio’s gr.Dataframe component is one of our most popular components, we've seen it used in a variety of awesome apps, like leaderboards, dashboards, and interactive visualisations. Although we hadn't made any changes to the dataframe in quite some time, our backlog of issues had been growing, and some improvements had been in demand for a while.

Well — we’re now super excited to release a host of new updates to Gradio’s dataframe component. Over the last 6 weeks, we’ve closed over 70 dataframe issues - including bugs, improvements and enhancements.

1. Multi-Cell Selection

You can select multiple cells at once! Copy or delete values across your selection with ease.

2. Row Numbers & Column Pinning

Add row number columns and keep critical columns in view while navigating wide datasets using the pinned_columns parameter. No more losing track of what you're looking at!

3. Copy Button and Full Screen Button

Easily copy cell values into a comma-separated format with our new copy button. Need a better view? The full screen button gives you interactivity without distractions and can be enabled with the show_full_screen parameter.

4. Scroll to Top Button

Look at all that data! Now we can just scroll to the top.

5. Accessibility Upgrade and Enhanced Styling

Improved keyboard navigation makes gr.Dataframe more accessible than ever. You can also take control of your dataframe’s look with a dedicated styler parameter and enhance the user experience of your app.

6. Row and Column Selection

Access entire row data in select events for more intuitive interactivity and data manipulation.

7. Static Columns

Customise the interactivity of your dataframe by specifying non-editable columns using the static_columns parameter.

8. Search functionality

Quickly find the data you need with our powerful search feature by setting the show_search parameter to "search".

9. Filter functionality

Narrow down your dataset to focus on exactly what you need with flexible filtering options with show_search set to "filter".

10. Improved cell selection

Experience smoother, more intuitive cell selection that behaves the way you expect.

What’s next?

Try it yourself!

The updated dataframe is live in the latest Gradio release. Update your installation with pip install --upgrade gradio.

import gradio as gr

df_headers = ["Name", "Population", "Size (min cm)", "Size (max cm)", "Weight (min kg)", "Weight (max kg)", "Lifespan (min years)", "Lifespan (max years)"]
df_data = [
    ["Irish Red Fox", 185000, 48, 92, 4.2, 6.8, 3, 5],
    ["Irish Badger", 95000, 62, 88, 8.5, 13.5, 6, 8],
    ["Irish Otter", 13500, 58, 98, 5.5, 11.5, 9, 13]
]

with gr.Blocks() as demo:
    df = gr.Dataframe(
        label="Irish Wildlife",
        value=df_data,
        headers=df_headers,
        interactive=True,
        show_search="search",
        show_copy_button=True,
        show_fullscreen_button=True,
        show_row_numbers=True,
        pinned_columns=1,
        static_columns=[0],
        column_widths=["300px"]
    )
