I have the data as below, the new pandas version doesn't preserve the grouped columns after the operation of fillna/ffill/bfill. Is there a way to have the grouped data?
data = """one;two;three
1;1;10
1;1;nan
1;1;nan
1;2;nan
1;2;20
1;2;nan
1;3;nan
1;3;nan"""
df = pd.read_csv(io.StringIO(data), sep=";")
print(df)
one two three
0 1 1 10.0
1 1 1 NaN
2 1 1 NaN
3 1 2 NaN
4 1 2 20.0
5 1 2 NaN
6 1 3 NaN
7 1 3 NaN
print(df.groupby(['one','two']).ffill())
three
0 10.0
1 10.0
2 10.0
3 NaN
4 20.0
5 20.0
6 NaN
7 NaN
With the most recent pandas if we would like keep the groupby columns , we need to adding apply here
out = df.groupby(['one','two']).apply(lambda x : x.ffill())
Out[219]:
one two three
0 1 1 10.0
1 1 1 10.0
2 1 1 10.0
3 1 2 NaN
4 1 2 20.0
5 1 2 20.0
6 1 3 NaN
7 1 3 NaN
