Join rows and concatenate attribute values in a csv file with pandas

I have a csv file structured like this:
As you can see, many lines are repeated (they represent the same entity) with the attribute 'category' being the only difference between each other. I would like to join those rows and include all the categories in a single value.
For example the attribute 'category' for Walmart should be: "Retail, Dowjones, SuperMarketChains".
Edit:
I would like the output table to be structured like this:
Edit 2:
What worked for me was:
df4.groupby(["ID azienda","Name","Company code", "Marketcap", "Share price", "Earnings", "Revenue", "Shares", "Employees"]
)['Category'].agg(list).reset_index()

Quick and Dirty
df2=df.groupby("Name")['Category'].apply(','.join)
subst=dict(df2)
df['category']=df['Name'].replace(subst)
df.drop_duplicates('Name')
if you prefer multiple categories to be stored as a list in pandas column category...
change first line to
df2=df.groupby("Name")['Category'].apply(list)

Not sure if you want a new table or just a list of the categories. Below is how you could make a table with the hashes if those are important
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({
'Name':['W','W','W','A','A','A'],
'Category':['Retail','Dow','Chain','Ecom','Internet','Dow'],
'Hash':[1,2,3,4,5,6],
})
# print(df)
# Name Category Hash
# 0 W Retail 1
# 1 W Dow 2
# 2 W Chain 3
# 3 A Ecom 4
# 4 A Internet 5
# 5 A Dow 6
#Make a new df which has one row per company and one column per category, values are hashes
piv_df = df.pivot(
index = 'Name',
columns = 'Category',
values = 'Hash',
)
# print(piv_df)
# Category Chain Dow Ecom Internet Retail
# Name
# A NaN 6.0 4.0 5.0 NaN
# W 3.0 2.0 NaN NaN 1.0

PANDAS dataframe concat and pivot data

I'm leaning python pandas and playing with some example data. I have a CSV file of a dataset with net worth by percentile of US population by quarter of year.
I've successfully subseted the data by percentile to create three scatter plots of net worth by year, one plot for each of three population sections. However, I'm trying to combine those three plots to one data frame so I can combine the lines on a single plot figure.
Data here:
https://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/z1/dataviz/download/dfa-income-levels.csv
Code thus far:
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# importing numpy as np
import numpy as np
df = pd.read_csv("dfa-income-levels.csv")
df99th = df.loc[df['Category']=="pct99to100"]
df99th.plot(x='Date',y='Net worth', title='Net worth by percentile')
dfmid = df.loc[df['Category']=="pct40to60"]
dfmid.plot(x='Date',y='Net worth')
dflow = df.loc[df['Category']=="pct00to20"]
dflow.plot(x='Date',y='Net worth')
data = dflow['Net worth'], dfmid['Net worth'], df99th['Net worth']
headers = ['low', 'mid', '99th']
newdf = pd.concat(data, axis=1, keys=headers)
And that yields a dataframe shown below, which is not what I want for plotting the data.
low mid 99th
0 NaN NaN 3514469.0
3 NaN 2503918.0 NaN
5 585550.0 NaN NaN
6 NaN NaN 3602196.0
9 NaN 2518238.0 NaN
... ... ... ...
747 NaN 8610343.0 NaN
749 3486198.0 NaN NaN
750 NaN NaN 32011671.0
753 NaN 8952933.0 NaN
755 3540306.0 NaN NaN
Any recommendations for other ways to approach this?

#filter you dataframe to only the categories you're interested in
filtered_df = df[df['Category'].isin(['pct99to100', 'pct00to20', 'pct40to60'])]
filtered_df = filtered_df[['Date', 'Category', 'Net worth']]
fig, ax = plt.subplots() #ax is an axis object allowing multiple plots per axis
filtered_df.groupby('Category').plot(ax=ax)

I don't see the categories mentioned in your code in the csv file you shared. In order to concat dataframes along columns, you could use pd.concat along axis=1. It concats the columns of same index number. So first set the Date column as index and then concat them, and then again bring back Date as a dataframe column.
To set Date column as index of dataframe, df1 = df1.set_index('Date') and df2 = df2.set_index('Date')
Concat the dataframes df1 and df2 using df_merge = pd.concat([df1,df2],axis=1) or df_merge = pd.merge(df1,df2,on='Date')
bringing back Date into column by df_merge = df_merge.reset_index()

Grouping data to complete records between each other

I've a task where I need to clean my data with duplicate records but at the same time fill those cells with nan with the values of the records with the same name for example:
id id2 name other_n date country
1.177.002 nan test_name nan 8 decembre 1981 usa
1.177.002 A test_name ALVA nan nan
Until now I tried the normal groupby but I don't get the result I expected
tst.groupby('name').mean()
tst.groupby('name').sum()
The result I'm looking for should be look like this:
id id2 name other_n date country
1.177.002 A test_name ALVA 8 decembre 1981 usa

Run:
df.groupby('name', as_index=False)\
.agg(lambda col: col.loc[col.first_valid_index()])\
.reindex(df.columns, axis=1)
The final reindex is needed to bring the column order back to how
they are ordered in the source DataFrame. Otherwise name would be moved
to the first place

Merging DataFrames on specific columns

I have a frame moviegoers that includes zip codes but not cities.
I then redefined moviegoers to be zipcodes and changed the data type of zip codes to be a data frame instead of a series.
zipcodes = pd.read_csv('NYC1-moviegoers.csv',dtype={'zip_code': object})
I know the dataset URL I need is this: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mafudge/datasets/master/zipcodes/free-zipcode-database-Primary.csv.
I defined a dataframe, zip_codes, to call the data from that dataset and change the dataset type from series to dataframe so its in the same format as the zipcodes dataframe.
I want to merge the dataframes so I can have the movie goer data. But, instead of zipcodes, I want to have the state abbreviation. This is where I am having issues.
The end goal is to count the number of movie goers per state. Example ideal output:
CA 116
MN 78
NY 60
TX 51
IL 50
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I think need map by Series and then use value_counts for count:
print (zipcodes)
zip_code
0 85711
1 94043
2 32067
3 43537
4 15213
s = zip_codes.set_index('Zipcode')['State']
df = zipcodes['zip_code'].map(s).value_counts().rename_axis('state').reset_index(name='count')
print (df.head())
state count
0 OH 1
1 CA 1
2 FL 1
3 AZ 1
4 PA 1

Simply merge both datasets on Zipcode columns then run groupby for state counts.
# READ DATA FILES WITH RENAMING OF ZIP COLUMN IN FIRST
url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mafudge/datasets/master/zipcodes/free-zipcode-database-Primary.csv"
moviegoers = pd.read_csv('NYC1-moviegoers.csv', dtype={'zip_code': object}).rename(columns={'zip_code': 'Zipcode'})
zipcodes = pd.read_csv(url, dtype={'Zipcode': object})
# MERGE ON COMMON FIELD
merged_df = pd.merge(moviegoers, zipcodes, on='Zipcode')
# AGGREGATE BY INDICATOR (STATE)
merged_df.groupby('State').size()
# ALTERNATIVE GROUP BY COUNT
merged_df.groupby('State')['Zipcode'].agg('count')

pandas how to use groupby to group columns by date in the label?

I have a dataframe 10730 rows × 249 columns, i have columns:
Index(['RegionID', 'Metro', 'CountyName', 'SizeRank', '1996-04', '1996-05',
'1996-06', '1996-07', '1996-08', '1996-09',
...
'2015-11', '2015-12', '2016-01', '2016-02', '2016-03', '2016-04',
'2016-05', '2016-06', '2016-07', '2016-08'],
dtype='object', length=249)
so what i need to do is group the columns by the quarter, jan to march Q1, and so on till Q4(using mean for the values). i know how to group 3 columns for example, but how do i group all the columns since i cannot specify the name of the column one by one.
This is the dataframe head in csv to use for testing:
'State,RegionName,RegionID,Metro,CountyName,SizeRank,1996-04,1996-05,1996-06,1996-07,1996-08,1996-09,1996-10,1996-11,1996-12,1997-01,1997-02,1997-03,1997-04,1997-05,1997-06,1997-07,1997-08,1997-09,1997-10,1997-11,1997-12,1998-01,1998-02,1998-03,1998-04,1998-05,1998-06,1998-07,1998-08,1998-09,1998-10,1998-11,1998-12,1999-01,1999-02,1999-03,1999-04,1999-05,1999-06,1999-07,1999-08,1999-09,1999-10,1999-11,1999-12,2000-01,2000-02,2000-03,2000-04,2000-05,2000-06,2000-07,2000-08,2000-09,2000-10,2000-11,2000-12,2001-01,2001-02,2001-03,2001-04,2001-05,2001-06,2001-07,2001-08,2001-09,2001-10,2001-11,2001-12,2002-01,2002-02,2002-03,2002-04,2002-05,2002-06,2002-07,2002-08,2002-09,2002-10,2002-11,2002-12,2003-01,2003-02,2003-03,2003-04,2003-05,2003-06,2003-07,2003-08,2003-09,2003-10,2003-11,2003-12,2004-01,2004-02,2004-03,2004-04,2004-05,2004-06,2004-07,2004-08,2004-09,2004-10,2004-11,2004-12,2005-01,2005-02,2005-03,2005-04,2005-05,2005-06,2005-07,2005-08,2005-09,2005-10,2005-11,2005-12,2006-01,2006-02,2006-03,2006-04,2006-05,2006-06,2006-07,2006-08,2006-09,2006-10,2006-11,2006-12,2007-01,2007-02,2007-03,2007-04,2007-05,2007-06,2007-07,2007-08,2007-09,2007-10,2007-11,2007-12,2008-01,2008-02,2008-03,2008-04,2008-05,2008-06,2008-07,2008-08,2008-09,2008-10,2008-11,2008-12,2009-01,2009-02,2009-03,2009-04,2009-05,2009-06,2009-07,2009-08,2009-09,2009-10,2009-11,2009-12,2010-01,2010-02,2010-03,2010-04,2010-05,2010-06,2010-07,2010-08,2010-09,2010-10,2010-11,2010-12,2011-01,2011-02,2011-03,2011-04,2011-05,2011-06,2011-07,2011-08,2011-09,2011-10,2011-11,2011-12,2012-01,2012-02,2012-03,2012-04,2012-05,2012-06,2012-07,2012-08,2012-09,2012-10,2012-11,2012-12,2013-01,2013-02,2013-03,2013-04,2013-05,2013-06,2013-07,2013-08,2013-09,2013-10,2013-11,2013-12,2014-01,2014-02,2014-03,2014-04,2014-05,2014-06,2014-07,2014-08,2014-09,2014-10,2014-11,2014-12,2015-01,2015-02,2015-03,2015-04,2015-05,2015-06,2015-07,2015-08,2015-09,2015-10,2015-11,2015-12,2016-01,2016-02,2016-03,2016-04,2016-05,2016-06,2016-07,2016-08\nNY,New

I changed the column index to date by dropping the non dates from the df quarter = df.drop(['RegionID','Metro','CountyName','SizeRank'],axis=1)
then change the columns to date quarter.columns = pd.to_datetime(quarter.columns) then i would like to do something likequarter = quarter.groupby(pd.TimeGrouper(freq='3M'),axis=1) but it's not working, then i would merge it back to the non-date columns. Also with this approach i wouldnt know how to put the right label for it like [2015Q4,2016Q1,2016Q2,2016Q3,2016Q4]

Here is a vectorized solution which uses pd.PeriodIndex and groupby(..., axis=1):
Data:
In [69]: x
Out[69]:
2016-01 2016-02 2016-03 2016-04 2016-05 2016-06
0 1 0 1 0 0 0
1 2 0 1 0 0 0
2 1 1 2 0 1 0
Solution:
In [70]: x.groupby(pd.PeriodIndex(x.columns, freq='Q'), axis=1).mean()
Out[70]:
2016Q1 2016Q2
0 0.666667 0.000000
1 1.000000 0.000000
2 1.333333 0.333333
Explanation:
In [71]: pd.PeriodIndex(x.columns, freq='Q')
Out[71]: PeriodIndex(['2016Q1', '2016Q1', '2016Q1', '2016Q2', '2016Q2', '2016Q2'], dtype='period[Q-DEC]', freq='Q-DEC')

It's not pretty, but this is the first thing I thought of. It sounds like the date columns can be manipulated separately. Break those out into a separate dataframe of the form below. If the other fields are kept, the conversion to datetime will throw an error.
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
csv_df = pd.DataFrame({'2016-01':[1,2,1], '2016-02':[0,0,1], '2016-03':[1,1,2], '2016-04':[0,0,0], '2016-05':[0,0,1], '2016-06':[0,0,0]})
# convert columns into datetime format
csv_df.rename(columns=lambda x: pd.to_datetime(x, format='%Y-%m'), inplace=True)
# now strip out the year and the quarter
csv_df.rename(columns=lambda x: str(x.year) + 'Q' + str(x.quarter), inplace=True)
# #lucarlig improved my suggestion by using groupby as follows
csv_df = csv_df.groupby(csv_df.columns, axis=1).mean()

Consider melting the dataframe from the wide format to long format, parse out the quarter and year using datetime and run a pivot_table() to transform back from long to wide aggregating the values with mean:
import pandas as pd
import datetime as dt
import numpy as np
...
# MELT DATAFRAME
meltdf = pd.melt(df, id_vars = ['State','RegionName','RegionID',
'Metro','CountyName','SizeRank'],
var_name = 'Date', value_name = 'Data')
# EXTRACT QUARTER
meltdf['Date'] = pd.to_datetime(meltdf['Date'] + '-01')
meltdf['YearQuarter'] = meltdf['Date'].dt.year.astype(str) + 'Q' + \
meltdf['Date'].dt.quarter.astype(str)
# PIVOT DATAFRAME
pivotdf = pd.pivot_table(meltdf, index=['State','RegionName','RegionID',
'Metro','CountyName','SizeRank'],
columns=['YearQuarter'], values='Data', aggfunc=np.mean)
Output
print(pivotdf.head())
# State RegionName RegionID Metro CountyName SizeRank 1996Q2 1996Q3 1996Q4 1997Q1 1997Q2 1997Q3 ...
