Combine values of columns and state condition in Pandas Dataframe

Question

I have the following dataframe:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({'a': ['1', '1', '1', '2', '2', '2', '3', '3', '4', '4'], 'b': ['True', 'False', 'True', 'True', 'True', 'True', 'True', 'True', 'False', 'False']})
 a      b
0  1   True
1  1  False
2  1   True
3  2   True
4  2   True
5  2   True
6  3   True
7  3   True
8  4  False
9  4  False

I want to combine all numbers in column a with the same numbers. Moreover, I want to state in column b , if all values of b are true for a specific a to set it true or if at least one is false to set it false.

The result should therefore look like this:

 a      b
0  1  False
1  2   True
2  3   True
3  4  False

How do I achieve this? I tried it with groupby, but I'm not able to find a suitable solution.

Answer 1

Use GroupBy.all for test if all values are True s:

#if necessary convert strings to boolean
df['b'] = df['b'].map({'True':True, 'False':False})

df = df.groupby('a', as_index=False)['b'].all()
print (df)
   a      b
0  1  False
1  2   True
2  3   True
3  4  False
