How do I Pandas group-by to get sum?
PythonPandasDataframeGroup ByAggregatePython Problem Overview
I am using this data frame:
Fruit Date Name Number
Apples 10/6/2016 Bob 7
Apples 10/6/2016 Bob 8
Apples 10/6/2016 Mike 9
Apples 10/7/2016 Steve 10
Apples 10/7/2016 Bob 1
Oranges 10/7/2016 Bob 2
Oranges 10/6/2016 Tom 15
Oranges 10/6/2016 Mike 57
Oranges 10/6/2016 Bob 65
Oranges 10/7/2016 Tony 1
Grapes 10/7/2016 Bob 1
Grapes 10/7/2016 Tom 87
Grapes 10/7/2016 Bob 22
Grapes 10/7/2016 Bob 12
Grapes 10/7/2016 Tony 15
I want to aggregate this by Name and then by fruit to get a total number of Fruit per Name. For example:
Bob,Apples,16
I tried grouping by Name and Fruit but how do I get the total number of Fruit?
Python Solutions
Solution 1 - Python
Use GroupBy.sum:
df.groupby(['Fruit','Name']).sum()
Out[31]:
Number
Fruit Name
Apples Bob 16
Mike 9
Steve 10
Grapes Bob 35
Tom 87
Tony 15
Oranges Bob 67
Mike 57
Tom 15
Tony 1
Solution 2 - Python
Also you can use agg function,
df.groupby(['Name', 'Fruit'])['Number'].agg('sum')
Solution 3 - Python
If you want to keep the original columns Fruit and Name, use reset_index(). Otherwise Fruit and Name will become part of the index.
df.groupby(['Fruit','Name'])['Number'].sum().reset_index()
Fruit Name Number
Apples Bob 16
Apples Mike 9
Apples Steve 10
Grapes Bob 35
Grapes Tom 87
Grapes Tony 15
Oranges Bob 67
Oranges Mike 57
Oranges Tom 15
Oranges Tony 1
As seen in the other answers:
df.groupby(['Fruit','Name'])['Number'].sum()
Number
Fruit Name
Apples Bob 16
Mike 9
Steve 10
Grapes Bob 35
Tom 87
Tony 15
Oranges Bob 67
Mike 57
Tom 15
Tony 1
Solution 4 - Python
Both the other answers accomplish what you want.
You can use the pivot functionality to arrange the data in a nice table
df.groupby(['Fruit','Name'],as_index = False).sum().pivot('Fruit','Name').fillna(0)
Name Bob Mike Steve Tom Tony
Fruit
Apples 16.0 9.0 10.0 0.0 0.0
Grapes 35.0 0.0 0.0 87.0 15.0
Oranges 67.0 57.0 0.0 15.0 1.0
Solution 5 - Python
df.groupby(['Fruit','Name'])['Number'].sum()
You can select different columns to sum numbers.
Solution 6 - Python
A variation on the .agg() function; provides the ability to (1) persist type DataFrame, (2) apply averages, counts, summations, etc. and (3) enables groupby on multiple columns while maintaining legibility.
df.groupby(['att1', 'att2']).agg({'att1': "count", 'att3': "sum",'att4': 'mean'})
using your values...
df.groupby(['Name', 'Fruit']).agg({'Number': "sum"})
Solution 7 - Python
You can set the groupby column to index then using sum with level
df.set_index(['Fruit','Name']).sum(level=[0,1])
Out[175]:
Number
Fruit Name
Apples Bob 16
Mike 9
Steve 10
Oranges Bob 67
Tom 15
Mike 57
Tony 1
Grapes Bob 35
Tom 87
Tony 15
Solution 8 - Python
You could also use transform() on column Number after group by. This operation will calculate the total number in one group with function sum, the result is a series with the same index as original dataframe.
df['Number'] = df.groupby(['Fruit', 'Name'])['Number'].transform('sum')
df = df.drop_duplicates(subset=['Fruit', 'Name']).drop('Date', 1)
Then, you can drop the duplicate rows on column Fruit and Name. Moreover, you can drop the column Date by specifying axis 1 (0 for rows and 1 for columns).
# print(df)
Fruit Name Number
0 Apples Bob 16
2 Apples Mike 9
3 Apples Steve 10
5 Oranges Bob 67
6 Oranges Tom 15
7 Oranges Mike 57
9 Oranges Tony 1
10 Grapes Bob 35
11 Grapes Tom 87
14 Grapes Tony 15
# You could achieve the same result with functions discussed by others:
# print(df.groupby(['Fruit', 'Name'], as_index=False)['Number'].sum())
# print(df.groupby(['Fruit', 'Name'], as_index=False)['Number'].agg('sum'))
There is an official tutorial Group by: split-apply-combine talking about what you can do after group by.
Solution 9 - Python
You can use dfsql
for your problem, it will look something like:
df.sql('SELECT fruit, sum(number) GROUP BY fruit')
