Pandas groupby with delimiter join












3















I tried to use groupby to group rows with multiple values.



col val
A Cat
A Tiger
B Ball
B Bat

import pandas as pd
df = pd.read_csv("Inputfile.txt", sep='t')
group = df.groupby(['col'])['val'].sum()


I got



A CatTiger
B BallBat


I want to introduce a delimiter, so that my output looks like



A Cat-Tiger
B Ball-Bat


I tried,



group = df.groupby(['col'])['val'].sum().apply(lambda x: '-'.join(x))


this yielded,



A C-a-t-T-i-g-e-r
B B-a-l-l-B-a-t


What is the issue here ?



Thanks,



AP

          Alternatively you can do it this way:



          In [48]: df.groupby('col')['val'].agg('-'.join)
          Out[48]:
          col
          A Cat-Tiger
          B Ball-Bat
          Name: val, dtype: object
