Pandas Excel: Sort based on multiple given columns
Write a Pandas program to import given excel data (employee.xlsx ) into a Pandas dataframe and sort based on multiple given columns. Go to Excel data
Sample Solution:
Python Code :
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df = pd.read_excel('E:\employee.xlsx')
result = df.sort_values(by=['first_name','last_name'],ascending=[0,1])
result
Sample Output:
emp_id first_name last_name hire_date 6 106 Valli Pataballa 2006-02-05 0 100 Steven King 2003-06-17 17 117 Sigal Tobias 2005-07-24 16 116 Shelli Baida 2005-12-24 1 101 Neena Kochhar 2005-09-21 8 108 Nancy Greenberg 2002-08-17 13 113 Luis Popp 2007-12-07 2 102 Lex De Haan 2001-01-13 19 119 Karen Colmenares 2007-08-10 12 112 Jose Manuel Urman 2006-03-07 10 110 John Chen 2005-09-28 11 111 Ismael Sciarra 2005-09-30 18 118 Guy Himuro 2006-11-15 7 107 Diana Lorentz 2007-02-07 14 114 Den Raphaely 2002-12-07 5 105 David Austin 2005-06-25 9 109 Daniel Faviet 2002-08-16 4 104 Bruce Ernst 2007-05-21 3 103 Alexander Hunold 2006-01-03 15 115 Alexander Khoo 2003-05-18
