3 min readTo apply the groupby function on multiple columns in pandas, you can use the groupby method followed by the names of the columns you want to group by in a list. For example, if you have a DataFrame called df and you want to group by columns 'A' and 'B', you can do this by writing df.groupby(['A', 'B']). This will group the data based on unique combinations of values in columns 'A' and 'B'.

5 min readTo merge two files by intermediate file with pandas, you can read all three files into pandas dataframes. Then, merge the first two files together using a common column as the key. Next, merge the resulting dataframe with the third file using another common column as the key. This will create a single merged dataframe that combines information from all three files. Finally, you can save the merged dataframe to a new file if needed.
-
5 min readTo iterate through a dataframe from another dataframe in pandas, you can use the iterrows() method which returns an iterator that yields index and row data as a tuple. You can then access the values of the row by using indexers. Keep in mind that iterating through dataframes is generally not recommended as it is not the most efficient way to work with data in pandas. It is better to utilize vectorized operations for better performance.

4 min readTo merge rows in a dictionary in Python using Pandas, you can use the groupby function along with agg to concatenate the values in each row. You can specify which columns to merge and how to merge them (e.g., by concatenation, sum, or mean). This allows you to combine rows with the same key into a single row with aggregated values. Additionally, you can use the reset_index function to reset the index of the resulting DataFrame after merging the rows.
-
6 min readIn a pandas dataframe, you can access the attributes of items using the dot notation or bracket notation. For example, to access the column 'age' of a dataframe named 'df', you can use df.age or df['age']. You can also access specific rows and columns using the iloc or loc methods. Additionally, you can apply functions and operations to these attributes to manipulate the data in the dataframe.
-
5 min readTo read a file with pandas correctly, you can use the read_csv() function to read a CSV file, read_excel() function to read an Excel file, read_sql() function to read data from a SQL query or database table, or read_json() function to read data from a JSON file.When reading a file with pandas, make sure to provide the correct file path or URL to the function. You can also specify additional parameters such as delimiter, column names, data types, and skipping rows or columns.
-
3 min readTo drop NaN values but not columns in pandas, you can use the dropna() method with the axis parameter set to 0. This will drop rows that contain any NaN values while keeping all columns intact. You can also use the subset parameter to specify specific columns to check for NaN values before dropping rows. Additionally, you can use the thresh parameter to set a threshold for the number of non-NaN values a row must have in order to be kept.
-
4 min readTo concatenate two dataframes in pandas correctly, you can use the pd.concat() function. When concatenating dataframes, make sure that the columns in both dataframes are aligned properly. You can use the ignore_index parameter to reset the index of the resulting dataframe. Additionally, you can use the axis parameter to specify whether you want to concatenate along the rows (axis=0) or the columns (axis=1).
-
6 min readTo replace string values in a Pandas DataFrame, you can use the replace() method. You first need to specify the string value you want to replace and then define the new value that you want to replace it with. You can specify the string value to be replaced either as a single string or as a list of strings if you want to replace multiple values at once. Additionally, you can use regular expressions to replace string values based on a pattern.
-
3 min readTo format a dataframe column-wise in pandas, you can use the applymap function to apply a formatting function to each element in the dataframe. This allows you to format the data in each column according to your requirements. You can also use the style attribute to apply formatting to specific columns or rows in the dataframe. Additionally, you can use the apply function to apply a formatting function to each column or row in the dataframe.
-
3 min readTo convert decimal values in a list to float in Python pandas, you can use the astype(float) method on the DataFrame column containing the decimal values. For example, if you have a DataFrame df with a column decimal_values containing decimal values like 0.303440, you can convert them to float as follows: import pandas as pd # Create a DataFrame with decimal values data = {'decimal_values': [0.303440, 0.589124, 0.876543]} df = pd.
-
7 min readTo extract a timestamp for a specific date within a specific period in pandas, you can use the pd.Timestamp function to create a timestamp object for the desired date. You can then use boolean indexing to filter the timestamp based on the specified period. For example, if you want to extract the timestamp for January 1, 2020 within the year 2020, you can create a timestamp object for the date '2020-01-01' and then use the condition timestamp.
