numpy if else dataframe code example

Example 1: pandas create new column conditional on other columns

# For creating new column with multiple conditions
conditions = [
    (df['Base Column 1'] == 'A') & (df['Base Column 2'] == 'B'),
    (df['Base Column 3'] == 'C')]
choices = ['Conditional Value 1', 'Conditional Value 2']
df['New Column'] = np.select(conditions, choices, default='Conditional Value 1')

Example 2: if else python pandas dataframe

# create a list of our conditions
conditions = [
    (df['likes_count'] <= 2),
    (df['likes_count'] > 2) & (df['likes_count'] <= 9),
    (df['likes_count'] > 9) & (df['likes_count'] <= 15),
    (df['likes_count'] > 15)
    ]

# create a list of the values we want to assign for each condition
values = ['tier_4', 'tier_3', 'tier_2', 'tier_1']

# create a new column and use np.select to assign values to it using our lists as arguments
df['tier'] = np.select(conditions, values)

# display updated DataFrame
df.head()
