Mastering Row Appending in Pandas: Conditional Sums Made Easy

When working with data, especially using Python's Pandas library, we sometimes need to perform specific calculations while adhering to conditions. One common task is to append new rows to a DataFrame based on the conditional sum of existing rows. This could be particularly useful when you need to summarize data while excluding certain values from your calculations. In this post, we'll explore how to achieve this using a practical example.

The Problem

Let's imagine we have a dataset that records fruit sales in different regions and over different times of the day. Below is our sample data structured in a Pandas DataFrame:

The Goal

We want to add an additional row for each pairing of location and time, which includes the sum of values for apple and orange, while intentionally excluding any values associated with banana. The final DataFrame should look like this:

The Solution

To achieve this, we can follow these organized steps:

Step 1: Filter and Group the Data

First, we filter the DataFrame to exclude any rows where the fruit is banana. Then, we will group by location and time, followed by summing the value column.

In this line, df[df['fruit'] != 'banana'] filters out the unwanted rows, and .groupby(['location', 'time']).sum() aggregates the remaining data.

Step 2: Add the New Column

Once we have our summed DataFrame (subdf), we need to add a new column indicating the fruit type for our aggregated sums.

Step 3: Concatenate the DataFrames

Next, we concatenate the original DataFrame and the new summed DataFrame. Finally, we can sort the concatenated DataFrame to organize it properly and reset the index.

Conclusion

By following these steps, we can effectively append new rows based on conditional sums in a Pandas DataFrame. This method comes in handy when we need to summarize values while ignoring specific entries.

The final output not only meets our requirement but also keeps our data organized for further analysis.

Happy coding with Pandas!
