Pandas percentage of total with groupby

Question

This is obviously simple, but as a numpy newbe I\'m getting stuck.

I have a CSV file that contains 3 columns, the State, the Office ID, and the Sales for that office

Answer 1

You need to make a second groupby object that groups by the states, and then use the div method:

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
np.random.seed(0)
df = pd.DataFrame({'state': ['CA', 'WA', 'CO', 'AZ'] * 3,
               'office_id': list(range(1, 7)) * 2,
               'sales': [np.random.randint(100000, 999999) for _ in range(12)]})

state_office = df.groupby(['state', 'office_id']).agg({'sales': 'sum'})
state = df.groupby(['state']).agg({'sales': 'sum'})
state_office.div(state, level='state') * 100


                     sales
state office_id           
AZ    2          16.981365
      4          19.250033
      6          63.768601
CA    1          19.331879
      3          33.858747
      5          46.809373
CO    1          36.851857
      3          19.874290
      5          43.273852
WA    2          34.707233
      4          35.511259
      6          29.781508

the level='state' kwarg in div tells pandas to broadcast/join the dataframes base on the values in the state level of the index.
