How to add sequential counter column on groups using Pandas groupby
This might be useful
df = df.sort_values(['userID', 'date'])
grp = df.groupby('userID')['ItemID'].aggregate(lambda x: '->'.join(tuple(x))).reset_index()
print(grp)
it will create a sequence like this
use cumcount()
, see docs here
In [4]: df.groupby(['c1', 'c2']).cumcount()
Out[4]:
0 0
1 1
2 0
3 1
4 0
5 1
6 2
7 0
8 0
9 0
10 1
11 2
dtype: int64
If you want orderings starting at 1
In [5]: df.groupby(['c1', 'c2']).cumcount()+1
Out[5]:
0 1
1 2
2 1
3 2
4 1
5 2
6 3
7 1
8 1
9 1
10 2
11 3
