Replace value based on a corresponding value but keep value if criteria not met-CodePudding

Given the following dataframe,

INPUT df:

Cost_centre	Pool_costs
90272	A
92705	A
98754	A
91350	A

Replace Pool_costs value with 'B' given the Cost_centre value but keep the Pool_costs value if the Cost_centre value does not appear in list.

OUTPUT df:

Cost_centre	Pool_costs
90272	B
92705	A
98754	A
91350	B

Current Code:

This code works up until the else side of lambda; finding the Pool_costs value again is the hard part.

df = pd.DataFrame({'Cost_centre': [90272, 92705, 98754, 91350],
                   'Pool_costs': ['A', 'A', 'A', 'A']})

pool_cc = ([90272,91350])

pool_cc_set = set(pool_cc)

df['Pool_costs'] = df['Cost_centre'].apply(lambda x: 'B' if x in pool_cc_set else df['Pool_costs'])
print (df)

I have used the following and have found success but it gets hard to read and modify when there are a lot of cost_centre's to change.

df = pd.DataFrame({'Cost_centre': [90272, 92705, 98754, 91350],
                   'Pool_costs': ['A', 'A', 'A', 'A']})

filt = df['Cost_centre'] == '90272'|df['Cost_centre'] == '91350')
df.loc[filt, 'Pool_costs'] = 'B'

CodePudding user response：

IIUC, you can use isin

filt = df['Cost_centre'].isin([90272, 91350])
df.loc[filt, 'Pool_costs'] = 'B'

print(df)

   Cost_centre Pool_costs
0        90272          B
1        92705          A
2        98754          A
3        91350          B
