Less known Pandas groupby applications in Python
A few months ago, I published an article about how to master groupby function in Pandas. Then a few days ago, a friend of mine asked a question and it can also be solved with groupby function. So today I list out some less known applications that groupby function can achieve.
(If you have not read my previous article about groupby function, go ahead. It will help you understand this article faster.)
1. Percentage by each group
In the Excel pivot table, you can select to show the percentage of parent total. This represents that the pivot table shows the percentage of each item out of its total parent subtotal. This can easily be done in Pandas groupby function with the help of lambda.
>>> import pandas as pd
>>> df = pd.DataFrame({'A':['a','b','c']*2,
... 'B':['d','e']*3,
... 'C':[1,3,6,10,12,16]
... })
>>> df
A B C
0 a d 1
1 b e 3
2 c d 6
3 a e 10
4 b d 12
5 c e 16
## First Groupby
>>> df['Perc_gpby_A'] = df.groupby('A')['C'].apply(lambda x: x/x.sum())
## Second Groupby
>>> df['Perc_gpby_B'] = df.groupby('B')['C'].apply(lambda x: x/x.sum())
>>> df
A B C Perc_gpby_A Perc_gpby_B
0 a d 1 0.090909 0.052632
1 b e 3 0.200000 0.103448
2 c d 6 0.272727 0.315789
3 a e 10 0.909091 0.344828
4 b d 12 0.800000 0.631579
5 c e 16 0.727273 0.551724
The main key point from the above example is that you select the appropriate grouping level in the groupby function. In the first groupby statement, the grouping level is column A. There are in total of three groups, a, b, and c. Then column C will be applied with the lambda function. The lambda function is x/x.sum() . Therefore each value in column C will be divided by the sum of its respective group. For example, the sum for group a is 11. Therefore in row 0 and 3, the value of c will be divided by 11. Thus the result is 0.0909 and 0.9091. This goes the same for the remaining two groups in column A and the second groupby statement.

Python for Beginners #2 — Importing files to python with pandas
Use pandas to upload CSV, TXT and Excel files
Story time before we begin
Learning Python isn’t the easiest thing to do. But consistency is really the key to arriving at a level that boosts your career.
We hear a lot about millennials wanting things to easy. In reality, there are a lot of young professionals who believe that they can do more for their companies but are being held back by the work cultures they are faced with at the onset of their careers.
Having been lucky enough to have found a job after my studies, I remember immediately feeling a wave of disappointment a very short while after starting my new job. I felt like a cog in a massive machine. I wasn’t really anything other than a ‘resource’. An extra 8–15 hours of daily man power depending on my boss’ whim.
The result, was the eventual disenchantment and lack of motivation simply because, for the most part, I was expected to be quiet and do my job in the hope of one day being senior enough to effect significant changes. And while the older generation would generally tell me to suck it up, I couldn’t see myself sucking it up for 5 years or more. I knew I’d get stale and afraid of change, much like those telling me to stay in my place.
For anyone in a similar situation,**_ do your best to improve on your skills _**and find an environment that works for you. That’s the whole purpose of these articles. To get you on your way to freedom.
Introduction
For this demonstration, I’ll use data from this Kaggle competition. It’s a simple CSV file containing data on individuals in the Titanic and the different profiles i.e. (age, marital status etc.)

Python Pandas Objects - Pandas Series and Pandas Dataframe
In this post, we will learn about pandas’ data structures/objects. Pandas provide two type of data structures:-
Pandas Series
Pandas Series is a one dimensional indexed data, which can hold datatypes like integer, string, boolean, float, python object etc. A Pandas Series can hold only one data type at a time. The axis label of the data is called the index of the series. The labels need not to be unique but must be a hashable type. The index of the series can be integer, string and even time-series data. In general, Pandas Series is nothing but a column of an excel sheet with row index being the index of the series.
Pandas Dataframe
Pandas dataframe is a primary data structure of pandas. Pandas dataframe is a two-dimensional size mutable array with both flexible row indices and flexible column names. In general, it is just like an excel sheet or SQL table. It can also be seen as a python’s dict-like container for series objects.

Pandas in Python
Pandas is used for data manipulation, analysis and cleaning.
What are Data Frames and Series?
Dataframe is a two dimensional, size mutable, potentially heterogeneous tabular data.
It contains rows and columns, arithmetic operations can be applied on both rows and columns.
Series is a one dimensional label array capable of holding data of any type. It can be integer, float, string, python objects etc. Panda series is nothing but a column in an excel sheet.
How to create dataframe and series?
s = pd.Series([1,2,3,4,56,np.nan,7,8,90])
print(s)
How to create a dataframe by passing a numpy array?
- d= pd.date_range(‘20200809’,periods=15)
- print(d)
- df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(15,4), index= d, columns = [‘A’,’B’,’C’,’D’])
- print(df)

How to work with Pandas in Python
The complete guide to Pandas for beginners
When we talk about data science, we usually refer to the data analysis through summarization, visualizations, sophisticated algorithms that learn patterns in data (machine learning), and other fancy tools. When we discuss the term with software developers, we also hear a lot of Python, the popular programming language.
But why is Python so popular and special in the data science world? There are many reasons, and an important one is the Python ecosystem and libraries that make data science seem natural to Python.
One of these libraries is pandas , which every data science in the world uses, used, or at least heard of (if you are a data scientist who never used pandas, scream in comments).
Pandas is an essential part of the ecosystem that many other data science tools build on top or provide specific functionalities for pandas.
This guide introduces pandas for developers and aims to cover the what, why, and how of pandas’ most commonly used features.
Before we get started, if you want to access the full source code for this project to follow along, you can download the project’s source code from GitHub .
