Suppose that you create the next python pandas data frames:
In[1]: print df1.to_string()
ID value
0 1 a
1 2 b
2 3 c
3 4 d
In[2]: print df2.to_string()
Id_a Id_b
0 1 2
1 4 2
2 2 1
3 3 3
4 4 4
5 2 2
How can I create a frame df_ids_to_values with the next values:
In[2]: print df_ids_to_values.to_string()
value_a value_b
0 a b
1 d b
2 b a
3 c c
4 d d
5 b b
In other words, I would like to replace the id's of df2 with the corresponding values in df1 . I have tried doing this by performing a for loop but it is very slow and I am hopping that there is a function in pandas that allow me to do this operation very efficiently.
Thanks for your help...
Start by setting an index on df1
df1 = df1.set_index('ID')
then join the two columns
df = df2.join(df1, on='Id_a')
df = df.rename(columns = {'value' : 'value_a'})
df = df.join(df1, on='Id_b')
df = df.rename(columns = {'value' : 'value_b'})
result:
> df
Id_a Id_b value_a value_b
0 1 2 a b
1 4 2 d b
2 2 1 b a
3 3 3 c c
4 4 4 d d
5 2 2 b b
[6 rows x 4 columns]
(and you get to your expected output with df[['value_a','value_b']]
)
