Pandas: Select rows from multi-index dataframe
Write a Pandas program to select rows by filtering on one or more column(s) in a multi-index dataframe.
Sample Solution:
Python Code :
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({
'school_code': ['s001','s002','s003','s001','s002','s004'],
'class': ['V', 'V', 'VI', 'VI', 'V', 'VI'],
'name': ['Alberto Franco','Gino Mcneill','Ryan Parkes', 'Eesha Hinton', 'Gino Mcneill', 'David Parkes'],
'date_of_birth': ['15/05/2002','17/05/2002','16/02/1999','25/09/1998','11/05/2002','15/09/1997'],
'weight': [35, 37, 33, 30, 31, 32],
'tcode': ['t1', 't2', 't3', 't4', 't5', 't6']})
print("Original DataFrame:")
print(df)
print("\nCreate MultiIndex on 'tcode' and 'school_code':")
df = df.set_index(['tcode', 'school_code'])
print(df)
print("\nSelect rows(s) from 'tcode' column:")
print(df.query("tcode == 't2'"))
print("\nSelect rows(s) from 'school_code' column:")
print(df.query("school_code == 's001'"))
print("\nSelect rows(s) from 'tcode' and 'scode' columns:")
print(df.query(("tcode == 't1'") and ("school_code == 's001'")))
Sample Output:
Original DataFrame: school_code class name date_of_birth weight tcode 0 s001 V Alberto Franco 15/05/2002 35 t1 1 s002 V Gino Mcneill 17/05/2002 37 t2 2 s003 VI Ryan Parkes 16/02/1999 33 t3 3 s001 VI Eesha Hinton 25/09/1998 30 t4 4 s002 V Gino Mcneill 11/05/2002 31 t5 5 s004 VI David Parkes 15/09/1997 32 t6 Create MultiIndex on 'tcode' and 'school_code': class name date_of_birth weight tcode school_code t1 s001 V Alberto Franco 15/05/2002 35 t2 s002 V Gino Mcneill 17/05/2002 37 t3 s003 VI Ryan Parkes 16/02/1999 33 t4 s001 VI Eesha Hinton 25/09/1998 30 t5 s002 V Gino Mcneill 11/05/2002 31 t6 s004 VI David Parkes 15/09/1997 32 Select rows(s) from 'tcode' column: class name date_of_birth weight tcode school_code t2 s002 V Gino Mcneill 17/05/2002 37 Select rows(s) from 'school_code' column: class name date_of_birth weight tcode school_code t1 s001 V Alberto Franco 15/05/2002 35 t4 s001 VI Eesha Hinton 25/09/1998 30 Select rows(s) from 'tcode' and 'scode' columns: class name date_of_birth weight tcode school_code t1 s001 V Alberto Franco 15/05/2002 35 t4 s001 VI Eesha Hinton 25/09/1998 30
