I am using the code below to make a search on a .csv file and match a column in both files and grab a different column I want and add it as a new column. However, I am trying to make the match based on two columns instead of one. Is there a way to do this?
import pandas as pd
df1 = pd.read_csv("matchone.csv")
df2 = pd.read_csv("comingfrom.csv")
def lookup_prod(ip):
for row in df2.itertuples():
if ip in row[1]:
return row[3]
else:
return '0'
df1['want'] = df1['name'].apply(lookup_prod)
df1[df1.want != '0']
print(df1)
#df1.to_csv('file_name.csv')
The code above makes a search from the column name 'samename' in both files and gets the colum I request ([3]) from the df2. I want to make the code make a match for both column 'name' and another column 'price' and only if both columns in both df1 and df2 matches then the code takes the value on ([3]).
df 1 :
name price value
a 10 35
b 10 21
c 10 33
d 10 20
e 10 88
df 2 :
name price want
a 10 123
b 5 222
c 10 944
d 10 104
e 5 213
When the code is run (asking for want column from d2, based on both if df1 name = df2 name) the produced result is :
name price value want
a 10 35 123
b 10 21 222
c 10 33 944
d 10 20 104
e 10 88 213
However, what I want is if both df1 name = df2 name and df1 price = df2 price, then take the column df2 want so desired result is:
name price value want
a 10 35 123
b 10 21 0
c 10 33 944
d 10 20 104
e 10 88 0
