Pandas time re-sampling categorical data from a column with calculations from another numerical column - pandas

Question

I have a data-frame with a categorical column and a numerical , the index set to time data
df = pd.DataFrame({
'date': [
'2013-03-01 ', '2013-03-02 ',
'2013-03-01 ', '2013-03-02',
'2013-03-01 ', '2013-03-02 '
],
'Kind': [
'A', 'B', 'A', 'B', 'B', 'B'
],
'Values': [1, 1.5, 2, 3, 5, 3]
})
df['date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['date'])
df = df.set_index('date')
the above code gives:
Kind Values
date
2013-03-01 A 1.0
2013-03-02 B 1.5
2013-03-01 A 2.0
2013-03-02 B 3.0
2013-03-01 B 5.0
2013-03-02 A 3.0
My aim is to achieve the below data-frame:
A_count B_count A_Val max B_Val max
date
2013-03-01 2 1 2 5
2013-03-02 0 3 0 3
Which also has the time as index . Here, I note that If we use
data = pd.DataFrame(data.resample('D')['Pack'].value_counts())
we get :
Kind
date Kind
2013-03-01 A 2
B 1
2013-03-02 B 3

Answer 1

Use DataFrame.pivot_table with flattening MultiIndex in columns in list comprehension:
df = pd.DataFrame({
'date': [
'2013-03-01 ', '2013-03-02 ',
'2013-03-01 ', '2013-03-02',
'2013-03-01 ', '2013-03-02 '
],
'Kind': [
'A', 'B', 'A', 'B', 'B', 'B'
],
'Values': [1, 1.5, 2, 3, 5, 3]
})
df['date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['date'])
#is possible omit
#df = df.set_index('date')
df = df.pivot_table(index='date', columns='Kind', values='Values', aggfunc=['count','max'])
df.columns = [f'{b}_{a}' for a, b in df.columns]
print (df)
A_count B_count A_max B_max
date
2013-03-01 2.0 1.0 2.0 5.0
2013-03-02 NaN 3.0 NaN 3.0
Another solution with Grouper for resample by days:
df = df.set_index('date')
df = df.groupby([pd.Grouper(freq='d'), 'Kind'])['Values'].agg(['count','max']).unstack()
df.columns = [f'{b}_{a}' for a, b in df.columns]
