Pandas: Drop last n rows from each group after using groupby on a dataframe


Write a Pandas program to split a given dataset using group by on multiple columns and drop last n rows of from each group.

Test Data:

    ord_no  purch_amt    ord_date  customer_id  salesman_id
0    70001     150.50  2012-10-05         3002         5002
1    70009     270.65  2012-09-10         3001         5003
2    70002      65.26  2012-10-05         3001         5001
3    70004     110.50  2012-08-17         3003         5003
4    70007     948.50  2012-09-10         3002         5002
5    70005    2400.60  2012-07-27         3002         5001
6    70008    5760.00  2012-09-10         3001         5001
7    70010    1983.43  2012-10-10         3004         5003
8    70003    2480.40  2012-10-10         3003         5003
9    70012     250.45  2012-06-27         3002         5002
10   70011      75.29  2012-08-17         3003         5003
11   70013    3045.60  2012-04-25         3001         5001 

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

import pandas as pd
pd.set_option('display.max_rows', None)
#pd.set_option('display.max_columns', None)
df = pd.DataFrame({
'ord_no':[70001,70009,70002,70004,70007,70005,70008,70010,70003,70012,70011,70013],
'purch_amt':[150.5,270.65,65.26,110.5,948.5,2400.6,5760,1983.43,2480.4,250.45, 75.29,3045.6],
'ord_date': ['2012-10-05','2012-09-10','2012-10-05','2012-08-17','2012-09-10','2012-07-27','2012-09-10','2012-10-10','2012-10-10','2012-06-27','2012-08-17','2012-04-25'],
'customer_id':[3002,3001,3001,3003,3002,3002,3001,3004,3003,3002,3003,3001],
'salesman_id':[5002,5003,5001,5003,5002,5001,5001,5003,5003,5002,5003,5001]})
print("Original Orders DataFrame:")
print(df)
print("\nSplit the said data on 'salesman_id', 'customer_id' wise:")
result = df.groupby(['salesman_id', 'customer_id'])
for name,group in result:
    print("\nGroup:")
    print(name)
    print(group)
n = 2
#result1 = df.groupby(['salesman_id', 'customer_id']).tail(n).index, axis=0)
print("\nDroping last two records:")    
result1 = df.drop(df.groupby(['salesman_id', 'customer_id']).tail(n).index, axis=0)
print(result1)

Sample Output:

Original Orders DataFrame:
    ord_no  purch_amt    ord_date  customer_id  salesman_id
0    70001     150.50  2012-10-05         3002         5002
1    70009     270.65  2012-09-10         3001         5003
2    70002      65.26  2012-10-05         3001         5001
3    70004     110.50  2012-08-17         3003         5003
4    70007     948.50  2012-09-10         3002         5002
5    70005    2400.60  2012-07-27         3002         5001
6    70008    5760.00  2012-09-10         3001         5001
7    70010    1983.43  2012-10-10         3004         5003
8    70003    2480.40  2012-10-10         3003         5003
9    70012     250.45  2012-06-27         3002         5002
10   70011      75.29  2012-08-17         3003         5003
11   70013    3045.60  2012-04-25         3001         5001

Split the said data on 'salesman_id', 'customer_id' wise:

Group:
(5001, 3001)
    ord_no  purch_amt    ord_date  customer_id  salesman_id
2    70002      65.26  2012-10-05         3001         5001
6    70008    5760.00  2012-09-10         3001         5001
11   70013    3045.60  2012-04-25         3001         5001

Group:
(5001, 3002)
   ord_no  purch_amt    ord_date  customer_id  salesman_id
5   70005     2400.6  2012-07-27         3002         5001

Group:
(5002, 3002)
   ord_no  purch_amt    ord_date  customer_id  salesman_id
0   70001     150.50  2012-10-05         3002         5002
4   70007     948.50  2012-09-10         3002         5002
9   70012     250.45  2012-06-27         3002         5002

Group:
(5003, 3001)
   ord_no  purch_amt    ord_date  customer_id  salesman_id
1   70009     270.65  2012-09-10         3001         5003

Group:
(5003, 3003)
    ord_no  purch_amt    ord_date  customer_id  salesman_id
3    70004     110.50  2012-08-17         3003         5003
8    70003    2480.40  2012-10-10         3003         5003
10   70011      75.29  2012-08-17         3003         5003

Group:
(5003, 3004)
   ord_no  purch_amt    ord_date  customer_id  salesman_id
7   70010    1983.43  2012-10-10         3004         5003

Droping last two records:
   ord_no  purch_amt    ord_date  customer_id  salesman_id
0   70001     150.50  2012-10-05         3002         5002
2   70002      65.26  2012-10-05         3001         5001
3   70004     110.50  2012-08-17         3003         5003
