How can I add values from pandas group to new Dataframe after a function? - pandas

Question

I am trying to separate a Dataframe into groups, run each group through a function, and have the return value from the first row of each group placed into a new Dataframe.
When I try the code below, I can print out the information I want, but when I try to add it to the new Dataframe, it only shows the values for the last group.
How can I add the values from each group into the new Dataframe?
Thanks,
Here is what I have so far:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
#Build random dataframe
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(0,40,size=10),
columns=["Random"],
index=pd.date_range("20200101", freq='6h',periods=10))
df["Random2"] = np.random.randint(70,100,size=10)
df["Random3"] = 2
df.index =df.index.map(lambda t: t.strftime('%Y-%m-%d'))
df.index.name = 'Date'
df.reset_index(inplace=True)
#Setup groups by date
df = df.groupby(['Date']).apply(lambda x: x.reset_index())
df.drop(["index","Date"],axis=1,inplace = True)
#Creat new dataframe for newValue
df2 = pd.DataFrame(index=(df.index)).unstack()
#random function for an example
def any_func(df):
df["Value"] = df["Random"] * df["Random2"] / df["Random3"]
return df["Value"]
#loop by unique group name
for date in df.index.get_level_values('Date').unique():
#I can print the data I want
print(any_func(df.loc[date])[0])
#But when I add it to a new dataframe, it only shows the value from the last group
df2["newValue"] = any_func(df.loc[date])[0]
df2

Answer 1

Unrelated, but try modifying your any_func to take advantage of vectorized functions is possible.
Now if I understand you correctly:
new_value = df['Random'] * df['Random2'] / df['Random3']
df2['New Value'] = new_value.loc[:, 0]

Answer 2

This line of code gave me the desired outcome. I just needed to set the index using the "date" variable when I created the column, not when I created the Dataframe.
df2.loc[date, "newValue"] = any_func(df.loc[date])[0]
