Definition and Usage

The cumsum() method returns a DataFrame with the cumulative sum for each row.

The cumsum() method goes through the values in the DataFrame, from the top, row by row, adding the values with the value from the previous row, ending up with a DataFrame where the last row contains the sum of all values for each column.

If the axis parameter is set to axes='columns', the method goes through the values, column by column, and ends up with a DataFrame where the last columns contains the sum of all values for each row.
