In this article, we are going to see how to divide a dataframe by various methods and based on various parameters using Python. To divide a dataframe into two or more separate dataframes based on the values present in the column we first create a data frame.
Creating a DataFrame for demonestration
Python3
# importing pandas as pdimport pandas as pd# dictionary of listsdict = {'First_Name': ["Aparna", "Pankaj", "Sudhir", "Geeku", "Anuj", "Aman", "Madhav", "Raj", "Shruti"], 'Last_Name': ["Pandey", "Gupta", "Mishra", "Chopra", "Mishra", "Verma", "Sen", "Roy", "Agarwal"], 'Email_ID': ["apandey@gmail.com", "pankaj@gmail.com", "sumishra23@gmail.com", "cgeeku@yahoo.com", "anuj24@gmail.com", "amanver@yahoo.com", "madhav1998@gmail.com", "rroy7@gmail.com", "sagarwal36@gmail.com"], 'Degree': ["MBA", "BCA", "M.Tech", "MBA", "B.Sc", "B.Tech", "B.Tech", "MBA", "M.Tech"], 'Score': [90, 40, 75, 98, 94, 90, 80, 90, 95]}# creating dataframedf = pd.DataFrame(dict)print(df) |
Output:
Split dataframe based on values By Boolean Indexing
We can create multiple dataframes from a given dataframe based on a certain column value by using the boolean indexing method and by mentioning the required criteria.
Example 1: Creating a dataframe for the students with Score >= 80
Python3
# creating a new dataframe by applying the required# conditions in []df1 = df[df['Score'] >= 80]print(df1) |
Output:
Example 2: Creating a dataframe for the students with Last_Name as Mishra
Python3
# Creating on the basis of Last_Namedfname = df[df['Last_Name'] == 'Mishra']print(dfname) |
Output:
We can do the same for other columns as well by putting the appropriate condition
Split dataframe based on values Boolean Indexing with mask variable
We create a mask variable for the condition of the column in the previous method
Example 1: To get dataframe of students with Degree as MBA
Python3
# creating the mask variable with appropriate# conditionmask_var = df['Degree'] =='MBA'# creating a dataframedf1_mask = df[mask_var]print(df1_mask) |
Output :
Example 2: To get a dataframe for the rest of the students
To get the rest of the values in a dataframe we can simply invert the mask variable by adding a ~(tilde) after it.
Python3
# creating dataframe with inverted mask variabledf2_mask = df[~mask_var]print(df2_mask) |
Output :
Split dataframe based on values Using groupby() function
Using groupby() we can group the rows using a specific column value and then display it as a separate dataframe.
Example 1: Group all Students according to their Degree and display as required
Python3
# Creating an object using groupbygrouped = df.groupby('Degree')# the return type of the object 'grouped' is# pandas.core.groupby.generic.DataFrameGroupBy.# Creating a dataframe from the object using get_group().# dataframe of students with Degree as MBA.df_grouped = grouped.get_group('MBA')print(df_grouped) |
Output: dataframe of students with Degree as MBA
Example 2: Group all Students according to their Score and display as required
Python3
# Creating another object using groupbygrouped2 = df.groupby('Score')# the return type of the object 'grouped2' is# pandas.core.groupby.generic.DataFrameGroupBy.# Creating a dataframe from the object# using get_group() dataframe of students# with Score = 90df_grouped2 = grouped2.get_group(90)print(df_grouped2) |
Output: dataframe of students with Score = 90.
