Good day beautiful people of Scotl... Stackoverflow.
I have faced issue in Excel which I have no idea how to solve. I tried many formulas but I believe that the problem is in my mind, since I have troubles to imagine the logical way it should follow.
I have attached a screenshot to clarify my problem:
Excel screenshot
Description of a screenshot
Column B - data name,
Rows C3:H3 - product name,
Table C4:H15 - some data (description, dates, etc.).
Column I is my extra and it is not mandatory to be there.
Desired result
I want to get data from table above to the table below but if there is one or more "DataX", I want Excel to pick the "DataX" where the biggest amount of rows are filled up (I have marked them blue for each DataX).
For example, for:
Data 1 - row 4,
Data 2 - row 7,
Data 3 - (obviously) row 9,
Data 4 - rows 11,
Data 5 - row 13.
If one or more records will match (all rows are empty / filled up), I don't care which row will be presented as a result.
What I have tried
I have added calculation (column I) which shows how many rows were updated and I was trying to find combination of v,hlookup + max but it wasn't working correctly.
I also created VBA code for it, which was working... almost good but then I received information that macros are no-go zone for this project.
Logic
I strongly believe that the logic should be as following:
Find matching DataX,
Find max value in row I (or include it in formula),
Find corresponding rows / columns for this record.

Hello dear son of Scotl.. overflow!
Please add to column J (range J4:J15) this additional formula
=CONCATENATE(B4,I4)
and then paste this to C19:
=INDEX(C$4:C$15,MATCH(CONCATENATE($B19,MAX(IF($B$4:$B$15=$B19,$I$4:$I$15,0))), $J$4:$J$15,0))
paste it as an array formula, i.e. press Ctrl+Shift+Enter simultaneously. Then populate it to the rest of the desired range.
The numbers in my example table do not mean anything, it's the number in I that matters.
Regards!!
I have a history data log and want to calculate the number of days between the progress by Company (Timestamp of the early stage must be smaller than the later stage).
Company Progress Time
AAA 3. Contract 07/10/2020
AAA 2. Discuss 03/09/2020
AAA 1. Start 02/02/2020
BBB 3. Contract 11/13/2019
BBB 3. Contract 07/01/2019
BBB 1. Start 06/22/2019
BBB 2. Discuss 04/15/2019
CCC 3. Contract 05/19/2020
CCC 2. Discuss 04/08/2020
CCC 2. Discuss 03/12/2020
CCC 1. Start 01/01/2020
Expected outputs:
Progress (1. Start --> 2. Discuss)
Company Progress Time
AAA 1. Start 02/02/2020
AAA 2. Discuss 03/09/2020
CCC 1. Start 01/01/2020
CCC 2. Discuss 03/12/2020
Progress (2. Discuss --> 3. Contract)
Company Progress Time
AAA 2. Discuss 03/09/2020
AAA 3. Contract 07/10/2020
CCC 2. Discuss 03/12/2020
CCC 3. Contract 05/19/2020
I did try some stupid ways to do the work but still need manualyl filter in excel, below is my coding:
df_stage1_stage2 = df[(df['Progress']=='1. Start')|(df['Progress']=='2. Discuss ')]
pd.pivot_table(df_stage1_stage2 ,index=['Company','Progress'],aggfunc={'Time':min})
Can anyone help with the problem? thanks
Create some masks to filter out the relevant rows. m1 and m2 filter out groups where 1. Start is not the "first" datetime if looking at in reverse order )since your dates are sorted by Company ascending and date descending). You can create more masks if you need to also check if 2. Discuss and 3. Contract are in order, instead of the current logic which is only checking to make sure that 1. is in order. But, with the data you provided that returns the correct output:
m1 = df.groupby('Company')['Progress'].transform('last')
m2 = np.where((m1 == '1. Start'), 'drop', 'keep')
df = df[m2=='drop']
df
intermediate output:
Company Progress Time
0 AAA 3. Contract 07/10/2020
1 AAA 2. Discuss 03/09/2020
2 AAA 1. Start 02/02/2020
7 CCC 3. Contract 05/19/2020
8 CCC 2. Discuss 04/08/2020
9 CCC 2. Discuss 03/12/2020
10 CCC 1. Start 01/01/2020
From there, filter as you have indicated by sorting and dropping duplicates based off a subset of the first two columns and keep the 'first' duplicate:
final df1 and df2 output:
df1
df1 = df[df['Progress'] != '3. Contract'] \
.sort_values(['Company', 'Time'], ascending=[True,True]) \
.drop_duplicates(subset=['Company', 'Progress'], keep='first')
df1 output:
Company Progress Time
2 AAA 1. Start 02/02/2020
1 AAA 2. Discuss 03/09/2020
10 CCC 1. Start 01/01/2020
9 CCC 2. Discuss 03/12/2020
df2
df2 = df[df['Progress'] != '1. Start'] \
.sort_values(['Company', 'Time'], ascending=[True,True]) \
.drop_duplicates(subset=['Company', 'Progress'], keep='first')
df2 output:
Company Progress Time
1 AAA 2. Discuss 03/09/2020
0 AAA 3. Contract 07/10/2020
9 CCC 2. Discuss 03/12/2020
7 CCC 3. Contract 05/19/2020
Something like this could work, assuming an already sorted df:
(full example)
data = {
'Company':['AAA', 'AAA', 'AAA', 'BBB','BBB','BBB','BBB','CCC','CCC','CCC','CCC',],
'Progress':['3. Contract', '2. Discuss', '1. Start', '3. Contract', '3. Contract', '2. Discuss', '1. Start', '3. Contract', '2. Discuss', '2. Discuss', '1. Start', ],
'Time':['07-10-2020','03-09-2020','02-02-2020','11-13-2019','07-01-2019','06-22-2019','04-15-2019','05-19-2020','04-08-2020','03-12-2020','01-01-2020',],
}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
df['Time'] = pd.to_datetime(df['Time'])
# We want to measure from the first occurrence (last date) if duplicated:
df.drop_duplicates(subset=['Company', 'Progress'], keep='first', inplace=True)
# Except for the rows of 'start', calculate the difference in days
df['days_delta'] = np.where((df['Progress'] != '1. Start'), df.Time.diff(-1), 0)
Output:
Company Progress Time days_delta
0 AAA 3. Contract 2020-07-10 123 days
1 AAA 2. Discuss 2020-03-09 36 days
2 AAA 1. Start 2020-02-02 0 days
3 BBB 3. Contract 2019-11-13 144 days
5 BBB 2. Discuss 2019-06-22 68 days
6 BBB 1. Start 2019-04-15 0 days
7 CCC 3. Contract 2020-05-19 41 days
8 CCC 2. Discuss 2020-04-08 98 days
10 CCC 1. Start 2020-01-01 0 days
If you do not want the 'days' word in output use:
df['days_delta'] = df['days_delta'].dt.days
First Problem
#Coerce Time to Datetime
df['Time']=pd.to_datetime(df['Time'])
#`groupby().nth[]` `to slice the consecutive order`
df2=(df.merge(df.groupby(['Company'])['Time'].nth([-2,-1]))).sort_values(by=['Company','Time'], ascending=[True, True])
#Apply the universal rule for this problem which is, after groupby nth, drop any agroup with duplicates
df2[~df2.Company.isin(df2[df2.groupby('Company').Progress.transform('nunique')==1].Company.values)]
#Calculate the diff() in Time in each group
df2['diff'] = df2.sort_values(by='Progress').groupby('Company')['Time'].diff().dt.days.fillna(0)#.groupby('Company')['Time'].diff() / np.timedelta64(1, 'D')
#Filter out the groups where start and Discuss Time are in conflict
df2[~df2.Company.isin(df2.loc[df2['diff']<0, 'Company'].unique())]
Company Progress Time diff
1 AAA 1.Start 2020-02-02 0.0
0 AAA 2.Discuss 2020-03-09 36.0
5 CCC 1.Start 2020-01-01 0.0
4 CCC 2.Discuss 2020-03-12 71.0
Second Problem
#Groupbynth to slice right consecutive groups
df2=(df.merge(df.groupby(['Company'])['Time'].nth([0,1]))).sort_values(by=['Company','Time'], ascending=[True, True])
#Drop any groups after grouping that have duplicates
df2[~df2.Company.isin(df2[df2.groupby('Company').Progress.transform('nunique')==1].Company.values)]
Company Progress Time
1 AAA 2.Discuss 2020-03-09
0 AAA 3.Contract 2020-07-10
5 CCC 2.Discuss 2020-04-08
4 CCC 3.Contract 2020-05-19
Hi Guys i have a dataFrame where i want to frist group rows by a column, then i find any rows that sum up to a given value in another column.
**A** **B** **c**
XCD 1 5
FFF 12 2
VB 3 6
XCD 8 5
AAA 2 7
AAA 5 7
XCD 4 5
VB 6 6
VB 3 6
FFF 2 2
For each unique entry in column A say XCD, the value of column C is always the same to represent the total sum needed per unique entry. To illustrate what i need, see the below final data Frame.
**A** **B** **c**
XCD 1 5
XCD 4 5
FFF 2 2
VB 6 6
AAA 2 7
AAA 5 7
The algorithm should select the rows that sum up to the column c. The algorithm can select a single row as long as its total sums up to the number in column c but we only take the first occurance that sum up to column c and leave out the rest, then have a new data Frame
I would like to find the difference between the matched serial numbers from multiple excel sheets
sheet 1
June July
B 10 20
A 50 90
Sheet 2
June July
A 6 3
C 5 9
B 10 5
Sheet 3(results)
June July
A 44 87
B 0 15
I have a problem is if my columns Consequent Data is Matching then it should Delete row.
for e.g.
Before
column A column B
aaa 10
aaa 10
aaa 5
bbb 6
aaa 10
bbb 5
After
column A column B
aaa 10
aaa 5
bbb 6
bbb 5
Select all the data in column a and b and then on the data ribbon select remove duplicates.
