Dataframe1 [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/PPjsM.png

Dataframe2: [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/8OQxl.png

Expected Output: [3]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/KPwrh.png

In Dataframe1, Column AREA, J and K are empty, while in datafarme2, Column Facility and Area are empty

I want to filter Dataframe1 based on the values in Dataframe2, I tried the below code but it did not work, I am not sure what is wrong, can you please help me to filter the dataframe1 data.

keys = list(df2.columns.values)
i1 = df1.set_index(keys).index
i2 = df1.set_index(keys).index
filtered_df=df1[~i1.isin(i2)]
print(filtered_df)

Answer 1

You can merge on the non empty columns:

# select non-empty columns from df2
cols2 = list(df2.dropna(how='all', axis=1))

# remove df2's empty columns from df1
cols1 = df1.columns.difference(df2.columns.difference(cols2))

out = df2.merge(df1[cols1], on=cols2).to_string()

output:
