How to get dataframe from groupby-CodePudding

I am doing a groupby practice. But it returning dict not dataframe. I fallowed some of the solutions from stack-overflow even no luck.

My code :

result[comNewColName] = sourceDF.groupby(context, as_index=False)[aggColumn].agg(aggOperation).reset_index()

and I tried:

result[comNewColName] = sourceDF.groupby(context)[aggColumn].agg(aggOperation).reset_index()

and

result[comNewColName] = sourceDF.groupby(context, as_index=False)[aggColumn].agg(aggOperation)

all three cases, I am getting dict only. But I should get dataframe

here:

comNewColName = "totalAmount"
context =['clientCode']
aggColumn = 'amount'
aggOperation = 'sum'

Need help please:

CodePudding user response：

If need new column created by aggregeted values use GroupBy.transform, but assign to sourceDF:

sourceDF[comNewColName] = sourceDF.groupby(context)[aggColumn].transform(aggOperation)

Your solution return DataFrame:

df = sourceDF.groupby(context)[aggColumn].agg(aggOperation).reset_index()
print (type(df))
