Improve multiple merges of dataframes












0















I have the following dataframes:



print(inventory_df)

dt_op Prod_1 Prod_2 ... Prod_n
10/09/18 0 0 0
11/09/18 0 0 0
12/09/18 0 0 0

...

print(final_inspect)

dt_op Prod_1
10/09/18 10
11/09/18 2
12/09/18 5

print(updated_df)
dt_op Prod_1 Prod_2 ... Prod_n
10/09/18 10 0 0
11/09/18 2 0 0
12/09/18 5 0 0

...


I am trying to update the dataframe "inventory_df", with the values contained in "final_inspect", in order to get "updated_df" with:



final_inspect = pd.DataFrame(data = {'dt_op': inspect["dt_op"] , j: inventory}) 
final_inspect_1 = pd.DataFrame(data = {'dt_op':inventory_df.dt_op })

final_inspect_1 = final_inspect_1.merge(final_inspect, on = "dt_op", how = "left").fillna(0)
inventory_df = inventory_df.merge(final_inspect_1, on = ["dt_op", j], how = "outer").fillna(0)

inventory_df = inventory_df.drop_duplicates(subset=None, keep='first', inplace=False)


The solution is cumbersome, but the update function from pandas does not seem to work ( inventory_df.update(final_inspect) ).



How can I improve this solution, in order to run it on several (3000) items?



N.B. The size of updated_df has to be the same as inventory_df, and nrows of final_inspect are less than nrows of inventory_df.

  • Can you further explain what does not work with update()? For me, it works with the data you provided. The only thing update() may do is to change the dtype from int to float (which is possibly related to this known issue. However, you could fix this by using inventory_df.update(final_inspect).astype(int).

  • My bad, update() operates in-place and returns None. Sorry. I meant the following: inventory_df.update(final_inspect); inventory_df = inventory_df.astype(int). Obviously, the latter works only if the dataframe consists of values that can be converted to int.

  • It does not update the first dataframe, leaving zeros. Unfortunately, I have a datetime object that, if converted to int, becomes a long set of numbers. Furthermore, even trying to convert only the product column to int update does not work.
