Redefining variable inside the loop python


Using this code,

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame ({'Date':['2000-01-01', '2000-02-01', '2000-03-01',
                            '2000-01-01', '2000-02-01', '2000-03-01','2000-04-01'
                           
                           ],
                  
                     'id':['1', '1', '1', '2', '2', '2','2'],
                     'bal_tot':[10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60,70],
'bal_d1_pct': ['nan', 1, 2, 'nan', 3, 4, 5]
                                      
                    })



I need to create a new variable 'fore' for each id. For example,

if Date = '2000-01-01' and id=1 then fore = 10
if Date = '2000-02-01' and id=1 then fore = 10 *(1+1/100) = 10.1
if Date = '2000-03-01' and id = 1 then fore = 10.1 * (1+2/100) = 10.302
etc.

The final data should look like this:

How to do it?


Solution

  • You can do a groupby, but you need to have your bal_d1_pct to be numerical first:

    df.bal_d1_pct = pd.to_numeric(df.bal_d1_pct, errors='coerce').fillna(0)/100 + 1
    
    df['fore'] = (df.groupby('id')
       .apply(lambda x: x.bal_tot.iloc[0] * x.bal_d1_pct.cumprod())
       .reset_index('id',drop=True)
    )
    

    Output:

             Date id  bal_tot  bal_d1_pct     fore
    0  2000-01-01  1       10        1.00  10.0000
    1  2000-02-01  1       20        1.01  10.1000
    2  2000-03-01  1       30        1.02  10.3020
    3  2000-01-01  2       40        1.00  40.0000
    4  2000-02-01  2       50        1.03  41.2000
    5  2000-03-01  2       60        1.04  42.8480
    6  2000-04-01  2       70        1.05  44.9904
