Just tried out: pd.melt(salesData, id_vars=['shop'], value_vars=[2017, 2018], var_name='year') works as desired. [2017, 2018] for value_vars is correct. Side note: without 'var_name' parameter a default name is given to column 2.

I think this question is missing a step of: whateverdfname = pd.DataFrame(....) then we can use salesData =pd.melt(whateverdfname, ...,...) so the second and third answer are correct, first box not sure.

The answer is wrong. It shall be pd.melt(salesData, id_vars=['shop'], value_vars=['2017', '2018'])

but if we use dataFrame instead of salesData : dataFrame = pd.DataFrame({'shop': {0: 'Shop X', 1: 'Shop Y', 2: 'Shop Z'}, '2017': {0: 34, 1: 65, 2: 48}, '2018': {0: 25, 1: 76, 2: 55}})

Box 2 should be year, because that is the ID of the column you wish to unpivot. You cant use shop because shop doesn't have a value ['2017,'2018']

The above is wrong, one is not evaluating columns but rather unpivoting columns therefore Box should be shop. One is unpivoting ['2017,'2018'] relative to shop (column 1)
