pandas groupby count the number of zeros in a column

Question

I have a dataframe, e.g:

Date             B           C   
20.07.2018      10           8
20.07.2018       1           0
21.07.2018       0           1
21.07.201         


        

Answer 1

Using melt, then groupby

Newdf=df.melt('Date')
Newdf.value=Newdf.value.eq(0).astype(int)

Newdf.groupby(['Date','variable']).value.value_counts().unstack([1,2]).sort_index(level=0,axis=1)
Out[69]: 
variable      B         C     
value         0    1    0    1
Date                          
20.07.2018  NaN  2.0  1.0  1.0
21.07.2018  1.0  1.0  1.0  1.0
