I need to do row wise comparison. When certain condition satisfies then I want to perform the group by.

Currently I have the code to do row wise comparison using while loop. I would like to avoid loops and looking for a way at the dataframe level.



The condition for group by: For a MID if the Row1 ToDate is equal to Row2 FromDate or Row1 ToDate plus one day is equal to Row2 Fromdate - then those two rows needs to be concatenated taking the Row1Todate as Fromdate and Row2ToDate as Todate.

1.Sort the dataframe. Convert string to Dates
2.For a MID: Compare Row1_ToDate with Row2_FromDate
2.1.Initialize: AD = Row1_ToDate
3.IfRow1.ToDate == Row2_FromDate OR Row1_ToDate+1Day == Row2_FromDate
3.1.DD= Row2_ToDate and concatenate CID+Ln and merge these values from
row1 and Row2
4.if Row1_ToDate != Row2_FromDate AND Row1_ToDate+1Day != Row2_FromDate
4.1.DD= Row1_ToDate

    Are you after: df.groupby('ID', as_index=False).agg({'FromDate': 'min', 'ToDate': 'max'}) ?

  • I want to compare Row1.ToDAte = Row2.FromDate or Row2.FromDate-1. Only when that condition satisfies I want to do the group by. The number of rows to compare could be more than 2,3,4,5,6 or n. So simple group by does not work. So looking for help

    Might want to edit your question to include that and maybe elaborate on it a bit as to why the other suggestions offered don't work. You can see there's already confusion over what you're asking. Please be as detailed as possible as to the logic you're after and how it ends up with the results you've specified.

  • Question is not clear , you need to make it explicit worth readable to get the better inputs, also would be great what you tried to achieve this so reader can get a clue..

  • I want to compare Row1.ToDAte = Row2.FromDate or Row2.FromDate-1. Only when that condition satisfies I want to do the group by. The number of rows to compare could be more than 2,3,4,5,6 or n. So simple group by does not work. So looking for help

    Might want to edit your question to include that and maybe elaborate on it a bit as to why the other suggestions offered don't work. You can see there's already confusion over what you're asking. Please be as detailed as possible as to the logic you're after and how it ends up with the results you've specified.

  • Question is not clear , you need to make it explicit worth readable to get the better inputs, also would be great what you tried to achieve this so reader can get a clue..

I need to do row wise comparison. When certain condition satisfies then I want to perform the group by.

Currently I have the code to do row wise comparison using while loop. I would like to avoid loops and looking for a way at the dataframe level.



The condition for group by: For a MID if the Row1 ToDate is equal to Row2 FromDate or Row1 ToDate plus one day is equal to Row2 Fromdate - then those two rows needs to be concatenated taking the Row1Todate as Fromdate and Row2ToDate as Todate.

1.Sort the dataframe. Convert string to Dates
2.For a MID: Compare Row1_ToDate with Row2_FromDate
2.1.Initialize: AD = Row1_ToDate
3.IfRow1.ToDate == Row2_FromDate OR Row1_ToDate+1Day == Row2_FromDate
3.1.DD= Row2_ToDate and concatenate CID+Ln and merge these values from
row1 and Row2
4.if Row1_ToDate != Row2_FromDate AND Row1_ToDate+1Day != Row2_FromDate
4.1.DD= Row1_ToDate

    Are you after: df.groupby('ID', as_index=False).agg({'FromDate': 'min', 'ToDate': 'max'}) ?

  • I want to compare Row1.ToDAte = Row2.FromDate or Row2.FromDate-1. Only when that condition satisfies I want to do the group by. The number of rows to compare could be more than 2,3,4,5,6 or n. So simple group by does not work. So looking for help

    Might want to edit your question to include that and maybe elaborate on it a bit as to why the other suggestions offered don't work. You can see there's already confusion over what you're asking. Please be as detailed as possible as to the logic you're after and how it ends up with the results you've specified.

  • Question is not clear , you need to make it explicit worth readable to get the better inputs, also would be great what you tried to achieve this so reader can get a clue..

First of all you probably want to set the ID column to be the index:



df.set_index('ID', inplace = True)


Then you can convert your columns to some time format (e.g. datetime), you cannot subtract strings from each other:



df['FromDate'] = pd.to_datetime(df['FromDate'])
df['ToDate'] = pd.to_datetime(df['ToDate'])


After doing this the pandas.Series.shift function will do the job:



df['diff'] = df['FromDate'] - df['ToDate'].shift() 


Now you have the differences in the diff column.

  • Thanks for the reply, I have tried that and it works only if I have to compare 2 rows. But if you see the id 95007 it has more than 2 records. I want to combine 3 or 4 or n records as long as it satisfies the todate +1 from previous row matches with FromDate on the next row. That is why simple group by with shift and shift+groupby+cumsum does not work for me
