how to create new column in dataframe based on other co 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: create new columns pandas from another column

def label_race (row):
   if row['eri_hispanic'] == 1 :
      return 'Hispanic'
   if row['eri_afr_amer'] + row['eri_asian'] + row['eri_hawaiian'] + row['eri_nat_amer'] + row['eri_white'] > 1 :
      return 'Two Or More'
   if row['eri_nat_amer'] == 1 :
      return 'A/I AK Native'
   if row['eri_asian'] == 1:
      return 'Asian'
   if row['eri_afr_amer']  == 1:
      return 'Black/AA'
   if row['eri_hawaiian'] == 1:
      return 'Haw/Pac Isl.'
   if row['eri_white'] == 1:
      return 'White'
   return 'Other'

df.apply(lambda row: label_race(row), axis=1)
