pandas select columns by condition code example

Example 1: make a condition statement on column pandas

df['color'] = ['red' if x == 'Z' else 'green' for x in df['Set']]

Example 2: pandas create a new column based on condition of two columns

conditions = [
    df['gender'].eq('male') & df['pet1'].eq(df['pet2']),
    df['gender'].eq('female') & df['pet1'].isin(['cat', 'dog'])
]

choices = [5,5]

df['points'] = np.select(conditions, choices, default=0)

print(df)
     gender      pet1      pet2  points
0      male       dog       dog       5
1      male       cat       cat       5
2      male       dog       cat       0
3    female       cat  squirrel       5
4    female       dog       dog       5
5    female  squirrel       cat       0
6  squirrel       dog       cat       0

Example 3: pandas select rows by multiple conditions

>>> df["A"][(df["B"] > 50) & (df["C"] == 900)]
2    5
3    8
Name: A, dtype: int64
    
>>> df.loc[(df["B"] > 50) & (df["C"] == 900), "A"]
2    5
3    8
Name: A, dtype: int64
>>> df.loc[(df["B"] > 50) & (df["C"] == 900), "A"].values
array([5, 8], dtype=int64)
>>> df.loc[(df["B"] > 50) & (df["C"] == 900), "A"] *= 1000
>>> df
      A   B    C
0     9  40  300
1     9  70  700
2  5000  70  900
3  8000  80  900
4     7  50  900

Example 4: python pandas dataframe conditional subset

In [722]: df[(df['C']==1) | df['B']]
Out[722]:
   A      B  C
0  1   True  1
2  2  False  1
3  2   True  2
4  3   True  1

In [723]: df.query('C==1 or B==True')
Out[723]:
   A      B  C
0  1   True  1
2  2  False  1
3  2   True  2
4  3   True  1

In [724]: df[df.eval('C==1 or B==True')]
Out[724]:
   A      B  C
0  1   True  1
2  2  False  1
3  2   True  2
4  3   True  1

Example 5: select subset of columns from dataframe

In [25]: titanic.iloc[9:25, 2:5]
Out[25]: 
    Pclass                                 Name     Sex
9        2  Nasser, Mrs. Nicholas (Adele Achem)  female
10       3      Sandstrom, Miss. Marguerite Rut  female
11       1             Bonnell, Miss. Elizabeth  female
12       3       Saundercock, Mr. William Henry    male
13       3          Andersson, Mr. Anders Johan    male
..     ...                                  ...     ...
20       2                 Fynney, Mr. Joseph J    male
21       2                Beesley, Mr. Lawrence    male
22       3          McGowan, Miss. Anna "Annie"  female
23       1         Sloper, Mr. William Thompson    male
24       3        Palsson, Miss. Torborg Danira  female
