How can I sum rows of a column based on an index condition to create a % of group column?

Time:03-04

I have the following Pandas DataFrame:

# Create DataFrame
import pandas as pd
data = {'Menu Category': ['Appetizers', 'Appetizers', 'Appetizers', 'Mains', 'Mains', 
        'Mains', 'Desserts', 'Desserts', 'Desserts'], 
        'Menu Item': ['Fries', 'Poppers', 'Wings', 'Pasta', 'Burger', 'Pizza', 
                      'Ice Cream', 'Cake', 'Fruit'],
        'Sales Quantity': [100, 50, 40, 200, 400, 250, 100, 120, 50],
       }
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
df

enter image description here

I would like to add two columns. 1) that shows the % Quantity of the Menu that each item represents (entire menu being this dataset), and 2) that shows the % Quantity of the Menu Category the item belongs to (like what percentage of the Sale Quantity does Fries represent of the Appetizers group, i.e. (100/190) * 100).

I know how to get the first column mentioned:

# Add % Quantity of Menu Column
percent_menu_qty = []
for i in df['Sales Quantity']:
    i = round(i/df['Sales Quantity'].sum() * 100, 2)
    percent_menu_qty.append(i)
df['% Quantity of Menu'] = percent_menu_qty
df

enter image description here

What I am not sure how to do is the second one. I have tried by setting Menu Category as the index and doing the following:

# Add % Quantity of Menu Category Column
df = df.set_index('Menu Category')

lst = []
for index, x in df['Sales Quantity'].iteritems():
    if index == 'Appetizers':
        x = x/sum(x)
        lst.append(x)
    elif index == 'Mains':
        x = x/sum(x)
        lst.append(x)
    elif index == 'Desserts':
        x =x/sum(x)
        lst.append(x)
lst

enter image description here

I know I need to somehow set a condition for each Menu Category that if index == 'a certain menu category value' then divide quantity by the sum of that menu category. Thus far I haven't been able to figure it out.

First of all, I would like to compliment you on using comprehensive row by row. I still use them for time to time, because I consider loops to be easier for someone else to read and understand what the principle is without running the code itself.

But ye. For this solution, I have created a couple one liners and let me explain what each are.

df['% Quantity of Menu'] = ((df['Sales Quantity']/df['Sales Quantity'].sum())*100).round(2)

For your first problem, instead of looping row to row, this divides the column value with a scalar value (which is the total of the column df['Sales Quantity'].sum()), then the ratio is multiplied with 100 for percentage, then round off at 2 decimal points.

df['%Qty of Menu Category'] = ((df['Sales Quantity']/df.groupby(['Menu Category'])['Sales Quantity'].transform('sum'))*100).round(2)

So, for the second problem, we need to divide the column value with the total of each corresponding category instead of the whole column. So, we get the value with groupby for each category df.groupby(['Menu Category'])['Sales Quantity'].transform('sum'), then did the same as the first one, by replacing the portion of the code. Here, why do we use df.groupby(['Menu Category'])['Sales Quantity'].transform('sum') instead of df.groupby(['Menu Category'])['Sales Quantity'].sum()? Because for division of a series can be done either with a scalar or with a series of same dimension, and the former way gives us the series of same dimension.

df['Sales Quantity']
0    100
1     50
2     40
3    200
4    400
5    250
6    100
7    120
8     50
Name: Sales Quantity, dtype: int64

df.groupby(['Menu Category'])['Sales Quantity'].transform('sum')
0    190
1    190
2    190
3    850
4    850
5    850
6    270
7    270
8    270
Name: Sales Quantity, dtype: int64

df.groupby(['Menu Category'])['Sales Quantity'].sum()
Menu Category
Appetizers    190
Desserts      270
Mains         850
Name: Sales Quantity, dtype: int64

I think you're looking for groupby transform sum to get the "Category" sums; then divide each "Sales Quantity" by their "Category" sum. This gives us the share of each menu item in their menu category.

You can also use the vectorized div method instead of loop for the first column:

df['%Qty of Menu'] = df['Sales Quantity'].div(df['Sales Quantity'].sum()).mul(100).round(2)
df['%Qty of Menu Cat'] = df.groupby('Menu Category')['Sales Quantity'].transform('sum').rdiv(df['Sales Quantity']).mul(100).round(2)

Output:

  Menu Category  Menu Item  Sales Quantity  %Qty of Menu  %Qty of Menu Cat
0    Appetizers      Fries             100          7.63             52.63
1    Appetizers    Poppers              50          3.82             26.32
2    Appetizers      Wings              40          3.05             21.05
3         Mains      Pasta             200         15.27             23.53
4         Mains     Burger             400         30.53             47.06
5         Mains      Pizza             250         19.08             29.41
6      Desserts  Ice Cream             100          7.63             37.04
7      Desserts       Cake             120          9.16             44.44
8      Desserts      Fruit              50          3.82             18.52
