Add values to column pandas dataframe by index number-CodePudding

Imagine I have a list that represents the indexes of a dataframe, like this one:

indexlist = [0,1,4]

And the following dataframe:

    Name    Country
0   John    BR
1   Peter   BR
2   Paul    BR
3   James   CZ
4   Jonatan CZ
5   Maria   DK

I need to create a column on this dataframe named "Is it valid?" that would add "Yes" if the index row is in the list. Otherwise would add "No", resulting in this dataframe:

    Name    Country  Is it valid?
0   John    BR       Yes
1   Peter   BR       Yes
2   Paul    BR       No
3   James   CZ       No
4   Jonatan CZ       Yes
5   Maria   DK       No

Is there any way I could do it?

Thanks!

You can use isin for index, that you'd normally use with Series, it essentially creates an array of truth value, which you can pass to np.where with true and false values, assign the result as a column.

df['Is it valid?'] = np.where(df.index.isin(indexlist), 'Yes', 'No')

OUTPUT:

      Name Country Is it valid?
0     John      BR          Yes
1    Peter      BR          Yes
2     Paul      BR           No
3    James      CZ           No
4  Jonatan      CZ          Yes
5    Maria      DK           No

Maybe something like

df[indexList]['Is it valid?'] = True

I suggest using a boolean value rather than strings.

CodePudding user response：

you can use iloc

df['Is it valid?']='No'
df['Is it valid?'].iloc[indexlist] = 'Yes'
