Automating small business reporting from my Quickbooks P&L. I'm trying to get the net income value for the current month from a specific cell in a dataframe, but that cell moves one column to the right every month when I update the csv file.
For example, for the code below, this month I want the value from Nov[0], but next month I'll want the value from Dec[0], even though that column doesn't exist yet.
Is there a graceful way to always select the second right most column, or is this a stupid way to try and get this information?
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
nov = -810
dec = 14958
total = 8693
d = {'Jan': [50], 'Feb': [70], 'Total':[120]}
df = pd.DataFrame(data=d)
Sure, you can reference the last or second-to-last row or column.
d = {'Jan': [50], 'Feb': [70], 'Total':[120]}
df = pd.DataFrame(data=d)
x = df.iloc[-1,-2]
This will select the value in the last row for the second-to-last column, in this case 70. :)
If you plan to use the full file, #VincentRupp's answer will get you what you want.
But if you only plan to use the values in the second right most column and you can infer what it will be called, you can tell pd.read_csv that's all you want.
import pandas as pd # 1.5.1
# assuming we want this month's name
# can modify to use some other month
abbreviated_month_name = pd.to_datetime("today").strftime("%b")
df = pd.read_csv("path/to/file.csv", usecols=[abbreviated_month_name])
print(df.iloc[-1, 0])

I have a dataframe that is updated monthly as such, with a new row for each employee.
If an employee decides to change their gender (for example here, employee 20215 changed from M to F in April 2022, I want all previous entries for that employee number 20215 to be switched to F as well.
This is for a database with roughly 15 million entries, and multiple such changes every month, so I was hoping for a scalable solution (I cannot simply put df['Gender'] = 'F' for example)
Since we didn’t receive a df from you or any code, I neede to generate something myself in order to test it. Please provide enugh code a give us a sample next time as well.
Here the generated df, in case someone comes with a better answer:
import pandas as pd, numpy as np
length=100
df = pd.DataFrame({'ID': np.random.randint(1001,1020,length),
'Ticket': np.random.randint(length),
'salary_grade' : np.random.randint(0,10,size=length),
'date': np.arange(length),
'genre': 'M' })
df['date']=pd.to_numeric(df['date'])
df['date']=pd.to_datetime(df['date'],dayfirst=True,unit='D',origin='15.04.2022')
That is the base DF, now I needed to estimulate some gender changes:
test_id=df.groupby(['ID'])['genre'].count().idxmax() # gives me the employee with most entries.
test_id
df[df['ID']==test_id].loc[:,'genre'] # getting all indexes from test_id, for a testchange/later for checking
df[df['ID']==test_id] # getting indexes of test_ID for gender change
id_lst=[]
for idx in df[df['ID']==test_id].index:
if idx>28: # <-- change this value for you generated df, middle of list
id_lst.append(idx) # returns a list of indexes where gender chage will happen
df.loc[id_lst,'genre']='F' # applying a gender change
Answer:
Finally to your answer:
finder=df.groupby(['ID']).agg({'genre' : lambda x: len(list(pd.unique(x)))>1 , 'date' : 'min'}) # Will return True for every ID with more then 2 genres
finder[finder['genre']] # will return IDs from above condition.
Next steps...
Now with the ID you just need to discover if its M-->F or F-->M new_genreand assign the new genre for the ID_found (int or list).
df.loc[ID_found,'genre']=new_genre
I have a dataframe at hourly level with several columns. I want to extract the entire rows (containing all columns) of the 10 top values of a specific column for every year in my dataframe.
so far I ran the following code:
df = df.groupby([df.index.year])['totaldemand'].apply(lambda grp: grp.nlargest(10)))
The problem here is that I only get the top 10 values for each year of that specific column and I lose the other columns. How can I do this operation and having the corresponding values of the other columns that correspond to the top 10 values per year of my 'totaldemand' column?
We usually do head after sort_values
df = df.sort_values('totaldemand',ascending = False).groupby([df.index.year])['totaldemand'].head(10)
nlargest can be applied to each group, passing the column to look for
largest values.
So run:
df.groupby([df.index.year]).apply(lambda grp: grp.nlargest(3, 'totaldemand'))
Of course, in the final version replace 3 with your actual value.
Get the index of your query and use it as a mask on your original df:
idx = df.groupby([df.index.year])['totaldemand'].apply(lambda grp: grp.nlargest(10))).index.to_list()
df.iloc[idx,]
(or something to that extend, I can't test now without any test data)
I have a data frame with perfectly organised timestamps, like below:
It's a web log, and the timestamps go though the whole year. I want to cut them into each day and show the visits within each hour and plot them into the same figure and stack them all together. Just like the pic shown below:
I am doing well on cutting them into days and plot the visits of a day individually, but I am having trouble plotting them and stacking them together. The primary tool I am using is Pandas and Matplotlib.
Any advices and suggestions? Much Appreciated!
Edited:
My Code is as below:
The timestamps are: https://gist.github.com/adamleo/04e4147cc6614820466f7bc05e088ac5
And the dataframe looks like this:
I plotted the timestamp density through the whole period used the code below:
timestamps_series_all = pd.DatetimeIndex(pd.Series(unique_visitors_df.time_stamp))
timestamps_series_all_toBePlotted = pd.Series(1, index=timestamps_series_all)
timestamps_series_all_toBePlotted.resample('D').sum().plot()
and got the result:
I plotted timestamps within one day using the code:
timestamps_series_oneDay = pd.DatetimeIndex(pd.Series(unique_visitors_df.time_stamp.loc[unique_visitors_df["date"] == "2014-08-01"]))
timestamps_series_oneDay_toBePlotted = pd.Series(1, index=timestamps_series_oneDay)
timestamps_series_oneDay_toBePlotted.resample('H').sum().plot()
and the result:
And now I am stuck.
I'd really appreciate all of your help!
I think you need pivot:
#https://gist.github.com/adamleo/04e4147cc6614820466f7bc05e088ac5 to L
df = pd.DataFrame({'date':L})
print (df.head())
date
0 2014-08-01 00:05:46
1 2014-08-01 00:14:47
2 2014-08-01 00:16:05
3 2014-08-01 00:20:46
4 2014-08-01 00:23:22
#convert to datetime if necessary
df['date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['date'] )
#resample by Hours, get count and create df
df = df.resample('H', on='date').size().to_frame('count')
#extract date and hour
df['days'] = df.index.date
df['hours'] = df.index.hour
#pivot and plot
#maybe check parameter kind='density' from http://stackoverflow.com/a/33474410/2901002
#df.pivot(index='days', columns='hours', values='count').plot(rot='90')
#edit: last line change to below:
df.pivot(index='hours', columns='days', values='count').plot(rot='90')
I have a Pandas DataFrame with a 'date' column. Now I need to filter out all rows in the DataFrame that have dates outside of the next two months. Essentially, I only need to retain the rows that are within the next two months.
What is the best way to achieve this?
If date column is the index, then use .loc for label based indexing or .iloc for positional indexing.
For example:
df.loc['2014-01-01':'2014-02-01']
See details here http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/dsintro.html#indexing-selection
If the column is not the index you have two choices:
Make it the index (either temporarily or permanently if it's time-series data)
df[(df['date'] > '2013-01-01') & (df['date'] < '2013-02-01')]
See here for the general explanation
Note: .ix is deprecated.
Previous answer is not correct in my experience, you can't pass it a simple string, needs to be a datetime object. So:
import datetime
df.loc[datetime.date(year=2014,month=1,day=1):datetime.date(year=2014,month=2,day=1)]
And if your dates are standardized by importing datetime package, you can simply use:
df[(df['date']>datetime.date(2016,1,1)) & (df['date']<datetime.date(2016,3,1))]
For standarding your date string using datetime package, you can use this function:
import datetime
datetime.datetime.strptime
If you have already converted the string to a date format using pd.to_datetime you can just use:
df = df[(df['Date'] > "2018-01-01") & (df['Date'] < "2019-07-01")]
The shortest way to filter your dataframe by date:
Lets suppose your date column is type of datetime64[ns]
# filter by single day
df_filtered = df[df['date'].dt.strftime('%Y-%m-%d') == '2014-01-01']
# filter by single month
df_filtered = df[df['date'].dt.strftime('%Y-%m') == '2014-01']
# filter by single year
df_filtered = df[df['date'].dt.strftime('%Y') == '2014']
If your datetime column have the Pandas datetime type (e.g. datetime64[ns]), for proper filtering you need the pd.Timestamp object, for example:
from datetime import date
import pandas as pd
value_to_check = pd.Timestamp(date.today().year, 1, 1)
filter_mask = df['date_column'] < value_to_check
filtered_df = df[filter_mask]
If the dates are in the index then simply:
df['20160101':'20160301']
You can use pd.Timestamp to perform a query and a local reference
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df = pd.DataFrame()
ts = pd.Timestamp
df['date'] = np.array(np.arange(10) + datetime.now().timestamp(), dtype='M8[s]')
print(df)
print(df.query('date > #ts("20190515T071320")')
with the output
date
0 2019-05-15 07:13:16
1 2019-05-15 07:13:17
2 2019-05-15 07:13:18
3 2019-05-15 07:13:19
4 2019-05-15 07:13:20
5 2019-05-15 07:13:21
6 2019-05-15 07:13:22
7 2019-05-15 07:13:23
8 2019-05-15 07:13:24
9 2019-05-15 07:13:25
date
5 2019-05-15 07:13:21
6 2019-05-15 07:13:22
7 2019-05-15 07:13:23
8 2019-05-15 07:13:24
9 2019-05-15 07:13:25
Have a look at the pandas documentation for DataFrame.query, specifically the mention about the local variabile referenced udsing # prefix. In this case we reference pd.Timestamp using the local alias ts to be able to supply a timestamp string
So when loading the csv data file, we'll need to set the date column as index now as below, in order to filter data based on a range of dates. This was not needed for the now deprecated method: pd.DataFrame.from_csv().
If you just want to show the data for two months from Jan to Feb, e.g. 2020-01-01 to 2020-02-29, you can do so:
import pandas as pd
mydata = pd.read_csv('mydata.csv',index_col='date') # or its index number, e.g. index_col=[0]
mydata['2020-01-01':'2020-02-29'] # will pull all the columns
#if just need one column, e.g. Cost, can be done:
mydata['2020-01-01':'2020-02-29','Cost']
This has been tested working for Python 3.7. Hope you will find this useful.
I'm not allowed to write any comments yet, so I'll write an answer, if somebody will read all of them and reach this one.
If the index of the dataset is a datetime and you want to filter that just by (for example) months, you can do following:
df.loc[df.index.month == 3]
That will filter the dataset for you by March.
How about using pyjanitor
It has cool features.
After pip install pyjanitor
import janitor
df_filtered = df.filter_date(your_date_column_name, start_date, end_date)
You could just select the time range by doing: df.loc['start_date':'end_date']
In pandas version 1.1.3 I encountered a situation where the python datetime based index was in descending order. In this case
df.loc['2021-08-01':'2021-08-31']
returned empty. Whereas
df.loc['2021-08-31':'2021-08-01']
returned the expected data.
Another solution if you would like to use the .query() method.
It allows you to use write readable code like .query(f"{start} < MyDate < {end}") on the trade off, that .query() parses strings and the columns values must be in pandas date format (so that it is also understandable for .query())
df = pd.DataFrame({
'MyValue': [1,2,3],
'MyDate': pd.to_datetime(['2021-01-01','2021-01-02','2021-01-03'])
})
start = datetime.date(2021,1,1).strftime('%Y%m%d')
end = datetime.date(2021,1,3).strftime('%Y%m%d')
df.query(f"{start} < MyDate < {end}")
(following the comment from #Phillip Cloud, answer from #Retozi)
import the pandas library
import pandas as pd
STEP 1: convert the date column into a string using the pd.to_datetime() method
df['date']=pd.to_datetime(df["date"],unit='s')
STEP 2: perform the filtering in any predetermined manner ( i.e 2 months)
df = df[(df["date"] >"2022-03-01" & df["date"] < "2022-05-03")]
STEP 3 : Check the output
print(df)
# 60 days from today
after_60d = pd.to_datetime('today').date() + datetime.timedelta(days=60)
# filter date col less than 60 days date
df[df['date_col'] < after_60d]
