I have a excel file with multilevel data and i need to melt them into a single level column
df = pd.read_excel('test.xlsx')
df.to_excel('test1.xlsx')
I need the dataframe output to look like below

Consider using pandas.melt?
From the docs
This function is useful to massage a DataFrame into a format where one or more columns are identifier variables (id_vars), while all other columns, considered measured variables (value_vars), are “unpivoted” to the row axis, leaving just two non-identifier columns, ‘variable’ and ‘value’.

I don't even know if groupby is the correct function to use for this. It's a bit hard to understand so Ill include a screenshot of my dataframe: screenshot
Basically, this dataframe has way too many columns because each column is specific to only one or a few rows. You can see in the screenshot that the first few columns are specific towards the first row and the last few columns are specific to the last row. I want to make it so that each row only has the columns that actually pertain to it. I've tried several methods of using groupby('equipment name') and several methods using dropna but none work in the way I need it to. I'm also open to separating it into multiple dataframes.
Any method is acceptable, this bug has been driving me crazy. It took me a while to get to this point because this started out as an unintelligible 10,000 line json. I'm pretty new to programming as well.
This is a very cool answer that could be one option - and it does use groupby so sorry for dismissing!!! This will group your data into DataFrames where each DataFrame has a unique group of columns, and any row which only contains values for those columns will be in that DataFrame. If your data are such that there are multiple groups of rows which share the exact same columns, this solution is ideal I think.
Just to note, though, if your null values are more randomly spread out throughout the dataset, or if one row in a group of rows is missing a single entry (compared to related rows), you will end up with more combinations of unique non-null columns, and then more output DataFrames.
There are also (in my opinion) nice ways to search a DataFrame, even if it is very sparse. You can check the non-null values for a row:
df.loc[index_name].dropna()
Or for an index number:
df.iloc[index_number].dropna()
You could further store these values, say in a dictionary (this is a dictionary of Series, but could be converted to DataFrame:
row_dict = {row : df.loc[row].dropna() for row in df.index}
I could imagine some scenarios where something based off these options is more helpful for searching. But that linked answer is slick, I would try that.
EDIT: Expanding on the answer above based on comments with OP.
The dictionary created in the linked post contain the DataFrames . Basically you can use this dictionary to do comparisons with the original source data. My only issue with that answer was that it may be hard to search the dictionary if the column names are janky (as it looks like in your data), so here's a slight modification:
for i, (name,df) in enumerate(df.groupby(df.isnull().dot(df.columns))):
d['df' + str(i)] = df.dropna(1)
Now the dictionary keys are "df#", and the values are the DataFrames. So if you wanted to inspect the content one DataFrame, you can call:
d['df1'].head()
#OR
print(d['df0'])
If you wanted to look at all the DataFrames, you could call
for df in d.values():
print(df.head()) #you can also pass an integer to head to show more rows than 5
Or if you wanted to save each DataFrame you could call:
for name in sorted(d.keys()):
d[name].to_csv('path/to/file/' + name + '.csv')
The point is, you've gotten to a data structure where you can look at the original data, separated into DataFrames without missing data. Joining these back into a single DataFrame would be redundant, as it would create a single DataFrame (equal to the original) or multiple with some amount of missing data.
I think it comes down to what you are looking for and how you need to search the data. You could rename the dictionary keys / output .CSV files based on the types of machinery inside, for example.
I thought your last comment might mean that objects of similar type might not share the same columns; say for example if not all "Exhaust Fans" have the same columns, they will end up in different DataFrames in the dictionary. This maybe the type of case where it might be easier to just look at individual rows, rather than grouping them into weird categories:
df_dict = {row : pd.DataFrame(df.loc[row].dropna()).transpose() for row in df.index}
You could again then save these DataFrames as CSV files or look at them one by one (or e.g. search for Exhaust Fans by seeing if "Exhaust" is in they key). You could also print them all at once:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import natsort
#making some randomly sparse data
columns = ['Column ' + str(i+1) for i in range(10)]
index = ['Row ' + str(i+1) for i in range(100)]
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.rand(100,10), columns=columns,index=index)
df[df<.7] = np.nan
#creating the dictionary where each key is a row name
df_dict = {row : pd.DataFrame(df.loc[row].dropna()).transpose() for row in df.index}
#printing all the output
for key in natsort.natsorted(df_dict.keys())[:5]: #using [:5] to limit output
print(df_dict[key], '\n')
Out[1]:
Column 1 Column 4 Column 7 Column 9 Column 10
Row 1 0.790282 0.710857 0.949141 0.82537 0.998411
Column 5 Column 8 Column 10
Row 2 0.941822 0.722561 0.796324
Column 2 Column 4 Column 5 Column 6
Row 3 0.8187 0.894869 0.997043 0.987833
Column 1 Column 7
Row 4 0.832628 0.8349
Column 1 Column 4 Column 6
Row 5 0.863212 0.811487 0.924363
Instead of printing, you could write the output to a text file; maybe that's the type of document that you could look at (and search) to compare to the input tables. Bute not that even though the printed data are tabular, they can't be made into a DataFrame without accepting that there will be missing data for rows which don't have entries for all columns.
I have a DataFrame which contains 55000 rows and 3 columns
I want to return every row as DataFrame from this bigdataframe for using it as parameter of different function.
My idea was iterating over big DataFrame by iterrows(),iloc but I can't make it as DataFrame it is showing series type. How could I solve this
I think it is obviously not necessary, because index of Series is same like columns of DataFrame.
But it is possible by:
df1 = s.to_frame().T
Or:
df1 = pd.DataFrame([s.to_numpy()], columns=s.index)
Also you can try yo avoid iterrows, because obviously very slow.
I suspect you're doing something not optimal if you need what you describe. That said, if you need each row as a dataframe:
l = [pd.DataFrame(df.iloc[i]) for i in range(len(df))]
This makes a list of dataframes for each row in df
I have 3 series which is generated out of the code shown below. I have shown a the code for one series below
I would like to merge 3 such series/dataframes using columns (subject_id,hadm_id,icustay_id) but unfortunately these headings don't appear as column names. How do I convert them as columns and use them for merging with another series/dataframe of similar datatype
I am generating series from another dataframe (df) based on the condition given below. Though I already tried converting this series to dataframe, still it doesn't display the indices, instead it displays the column name as index. I have shown the output below. I would like to see the values 'Subject_id','hadm_id','icustay_id' as column names in dataframe along with other column 'val_bw_80_110' so that I can join with other dataframes using these 3 ids ('Subject_id','hadm_id','icustay_id')
s1 =
df.groupby(['subject_id','hadm_id','icustay_id'['val_bw_80_110'].mean()
I expect an output where the ids (subject_id,hadm_id,icustay_id) are converted to column names and can be used for joining/merging with other dataframes.
You can add parameter as_index=False to DataFrame.groupby or use Series.reset_index:
df = df.groupby(['subject_id','hadm_id','icustay_id'], as_index=False)['val_bw_80_110'].mean()
Or:
df = df.groupby(['subject_id','hadm_id','icustay_id'])['val_bw_80_110'].mean().reset_index()
I have 2 different dataframes like so -
and
I need to add a column "Present In" to the first dataframe, that lists all the items in C that correspond to the K ID in the second dataframe. So, the first table should look something like -
How can I do this using Pandas? Thanks! :)
I will do gruopby with df2 , the map
s=df2.groupby('K ID')['C'].apply(','.join)
df1['Present In']=df1['K ID'].map(s).fillna('')
I have two dataframes with one column, values as
df1:
0000D3447E
0000D3447E39S
5052722161014
5052722161021

00000E2377

0000F2892E
00000E2387
when I merge these two dataframes I don't get the merged values which starts with "00000E"
I used:
df1[['PartNumber']] = df2[['PartNumber']].astype(str)
To convert the column dtype to string. But, still I'm not able get the merged values.
my question is how can I get these values which start with 00000E when I merge the two dataframes.
