Pandas groupby multiple columns, list of multiple columns

Question

I have the following data:

Invoice NoStockCode Description                         Quantity    CustomerID  Country
536365  85123A      WHITE HANGING HEART T-         


        

Answer 1

Try using a variation of the following:

df.groupby('company').product.agg([('count', 'count'), ('NoStockCode', ', '.join), ('Descrption', ', '.join), ('Quantity', ', '.join)])

Answer 2

I can't reproduce your code right now, but I think that:

print (df.groupby(['InvoiceNo','CustomerID','Country'], 
                  as_index=False)['NoStockCode','Description','Quantity']
          .agg(lambda x: list(x)))

would give you the expected output

Answer 3

You could use pd.pivot_table with aggfunc=list:

import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({'Country': ['United Kingdom', 'United Kingdom', 'United Kingdom'],
                   'CustomerID': [17850, 17850, 17850],
                   'Description': ['WHITE HANGING HEART T-LIGHT HOLDER',
                                   'WHITE METAL LANTERN',
                                   'CREAM CUPID HEARTS COAT HANGER'],
                   'Invoice': [536365, 536365, 536365],
                   'NoStockCode': ['85123A', '71053', '84406B'],
                   'Quantity': [6, 6, 8]})

result = pd.pivot_table(df, index=['Invoice','CustomerID','Country'], 
                        values=['NoStockCode','Description','Quantity'], 
                        aggfunc=lambda x: ', '.join(map(str, x)))
print(result)

yields

                                                                         Description            NoStockCode Quantity
Invoice CustomerID Country                                                                                          
536365  17850      United Kingdom  WHITE HANGING HEART T-LIGHT HOLDER, WHITE META...  85123A, 71053, 84406B  6, 6, 8

Note that if Quantity are ints, you will need to convert them to strs before calling ', '.join. That is why map(str, x) was used above.

IIUC

df.groupby(['Invoice','CustomerID'],as_index=False)['Description','NoStockCode'].agg(','.join)
Out[47]: 
   Invoice  CustomerID                                        Description  \
0   536365       17850  WHITEHANGINGHEARTT-LIGHTHOLDER,WHITEMETALANTER...   
           NoStockCode  
0  85123A,71053,84406B
