How to group and filter a dataframe in PySpark

Question

Attached is my dataframe and I'm trying to find a way in pySpark to filter Link Name for which none of the Supports are with Status 'In'. For eg. The expected output should be only Link3 as none of the supports associated to it are with 'In'

Link Name	Support	Status
Link1	Support1	In
Link1	Support2	In
Link1	Support3	Out
Link2	Support4	In
Link2	Support5	In
Link3	Support6	Out
Link3	Support7	Out

Can someone please help me here?

The expected output should be only Link3 as none of the supports associated to it are without 'In'

You can try something like this with window function

import pyspark.sql.functions as F
from pyspark.sql import Window

inputData = [
    ("Link1", "Support1", "In"),
    ("Link1", "Support2", "In"),
    ("Link1", "Support3", "Out"),
    ("Link2", "Support4", "In"),
    ("Link2", "Support5", "In"),
    ("Link3", "Support6", "Out"),
    ("Link3", "Support7", "Out"),
]
inputDf = spark.createDataFrame(inputData, schema=["Link Name", "Support", "Status"])

window = Window.partitionBy("Link Name").orderBy(F.col("Status").asc())

dfWithRank = inputDf.withColumn("dense_rank", F.dense_rank().over(window))
dfWithRank.filter(
    (F.col("dense_rank") == F.lit(1)) & (F.col("Status") == F.lit("Out"))
).select("Link Name").distinct().show()

I am grouping by link name and sorting by status within group. If first status within group sorted ascending is "Out" it means that "In" status does not exists for such partition and thats what filter is checking

At the end i am selecting only Link Name and calling distinct to get just single record with Link Name

Output is

+---------+
|Link Name|
+---------+
|    Link3|
+---------+
