Selecting Bottom Continuous Rows in Pandas

If you're working with data in Python using Pandas, you might sometimes need to filter your DataFrame to get a specific set of rows based on certain conditions. In this guide, we'll tackle a common problem: how to select only the bottom continuous rows where a specific value is present. We’ll be using an example to illustrate the solution clearly.

The Problem Statement

Imagine you have the following DataFrame containing names and a corresponding value:

This will produce a DataFrame that looks like this:

Your goal is to extract the rows where the val is equal to 1, but only the continuous rows found at the bottom of the DataFrame.

Desired Output

For the above DataFrame, the expected output when filtering for continuous rows with a value of 1 would be:

The Solution

To achieve this filter efficiently, we can leverage the cumsum function in Pandas. The idea is to create a cumulative sum that identifies the blocks of continuous values and then filter the DataFrame based on this block identification.

Step-by-Step Breakdown

Identify Blocks of Values:
We want to identify blocks of rows where the val is not equal to 1. We can accomplish this using the ne() and cumsum() functions:

df.val.ne(1) creates a boolean Series where True corresponds to rows where val is not 1.

cumsum() then generates a unique identifier for each block.

Filter for the Last Block:
Next, we want to retain only the last block of rows that have a value of 1. We achieve this by checking where the block number equals the maximum block number and where val equals 1:

This combines our previous conditions to isolate the desired rows.

Conclusion

With just a few lines of code, we can effectively filter our DataFrame to get the bottom continuous rows where a specific value is present using Pandas. This approach can be very useful when dealing with larger datasets, allowing you to parse and filter your data efficiently.
