Counting True / False values in unique columns per rows in Pandas

Question

I am new to Pandas

My DataFrame:

df

A       B       C       1       2       3       4       5       6       7       8       9
5       2       4       True    False   False   True    False   True    False   True    False
2       2       1       True    True    False   False   False   True    False   True    False
5       4       7       False   False   True    False   True    True    False   True    True
4       4       1       False   True    False   False   False   True    False   True    True
2       0       8       False   False   True    False   True    True    False   True    True

My goal:

To calculate sum per cateogory 1-9 and columns A , B , C .

So that I could answer these kidn of questions:

What is the sum of column A values where column 1 is True , what is the sum of C where column 5 is True .

In reality, I have about 50 categories 1-50 and I want to know if there is a smart way of calculating these sums without having to have this kind of line 50 times:

df['Sum of A where 1 is True'] = df.A.where(df.1)).sum()

and so on.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Answer 1

You can use DataFrame.melt with filtering by True s with DataFrame.pop for extract column and then aggregate sum :

df = (df.melt(['A','B','C'], var_name='Type', value_name='mask')
       .loc[lambda x: x.pop('mask')]
       .groupby('Type')
       .sum())
print (df)
       A   B   C
Type            
1      7   4   5
2      6   6   2
3      7   4  15
4      5   2   4
5      7   4  15
6     18  12  21
8     18  12  21
9     11   8  16

IIUC, this is just matmul :

# replace your columns accordingly
df[list('123456789')].T @ df[list('ABC')] 

Output:

    A   B   C
1   7   4   5
2   6   6   2
3   7   4  15
4   5   2   4
5   7   4  15
6  18  12  21
7   0   0   0
8  18  12  21
9  11   8  16
