You can merge a mult-indexed Series and a DataFrame, if the names of
the MultiIndex correspond to the columns from the DataFrame. Transform
the Series to a DataFrame using :meth:`Series.reset_index` before merging,
as shown in the following example.

.. ipython:: python

df = pd.DataFrame({"Let": ["A", "B", "C"], "Num": [1, 2, 3]})
df

ser = pd.Series(
["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f"],
index=pd.MultiIndex.from_arrays(
[["A", "B", "C"] * 2, [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]], names=["Let", "Num"]
),
)
ser

result = pd.merge(df, ser.reset_index(), on=['Let', 'Num'])

thanks

how are the diagrams of the df displayed ?

since we have a Series and a DataFrame, that format is probably not applicable.

ok - thanks. PR #32370 is all green now.



Here is another example with duplicate join keys in DataFrames:
