how to add multiple rows in a specified position with modification in python?

Question

I have a data frame where I want to replicate and rows in the following manner

 d=pd.DataFrame({"col1":["a","b","c","         


        

Answer 1

IIUC, You can try index.repeat with groupby+cumcount

n = 3
out = d.loc[d.index.repeat(n)]
out = out.assign(col1=out['col1']+out.groupby("col1").cumcount()
                  .replace(0,'').astype(str)).reset_index(drop=True)

---

print(out)

   col1  col2
0     a    12
1    a1    12
2    a2    12
3     b    13
4    b1    13
5    b2    13
6     c    14
7    c1    14
8    c2    14
9     d    16
10   d1    16
11   d2    16

EDIT:

For repeating values of col1 later, you can use a helper series as grouper:

d=pd.DataFrame({"col1":["a","b","a","d"],"col2":[12,13,14,16],
                 "col3":[1,2,3,4]})
n = 3
out = d.loc[d.index.repeat(n)]
out = (out.assign(col1=out['col1']+out.groupby(out['col1'].ne(out['col1'].shift())
                               .cumsum()).cumcount().replace(0,'').astype(str))
           .reset_index(drop=True))
print(out)

   col1  col2  col3
0     a    12     1
1    a1    12     1
2    a2    12     1
3     b    13     2
4    b1    13     2
5    b2    13     2
6     a    14     3
7    a1    14     3
8    a2    14     3
9     d    16     4
10   d1    16     4
11   d2    16     4
