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

Paul H's answer is right that you will have to make a second groupby object, but you can calculate the percentage in a simpler way -- just groupby the state_office and divide the sales column by its sum. Copying the beginning of Paul H's answer:

# From Paul H
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'})
# Change: groupby state_office and divide by sum
state_pcts = state_office.groupby(level=0).apply(lambda x:
                                                 100 * x / float(x.sum()))

Returns:

                     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

Answer 2

I know that this is an old question, but exp1orer's answer is very slow for datasets with a large number unique groups (probably because of the lambda). I built off of their answer to turn it into an array calculation so now it's super fast! Below is the example code:

Create the test dataframe with 50,000 unique groups

import random
import string
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
np.random.seed(0)

# This is the total number of groups to be created
NumberOfGroups = 50000

# Create a lot of groups (random strings of 4 letters)
Group1     = [''.join(random.choice(string.ascii_uppercase) for _ in range(4)) for x in range(NumberOfGroups/10)]*10
Group2     = [''.join(random.choice(string.ascii_uppercase) for _ in range(4)) for x in range(NumberOfGroups/2)]*2
FinalGroup = [''.join(random.choice(string.ascii_uppercase) for _ in range(4)) for x in range(NumberOfGroups)]

# Make the numbers
NumbersForPercents = [np.random.randint(100, 999) for _ in range(NumberOfGroups)]

# Make the dataframe
df = pd.DataFrame({'Group 1': Group1,
                   'Group 2': Group2,
                   'Final Group': FinalGroup,
                   'Numbers I want as percents': NumbersForPercents})

When grouped it looks like:

                             Numbers I want as percents
Group 1 Group 2 Final Group

[50000 rows x 1 columns]

Array method of finding percentage:

# Initial grouping (basically a sorted version of df)
PreGroupby_df = df.groupby(["Group 1","Group 2","Final Group"]).agg({'Numbers I want as percents': 'sum'}).reset_index()
# Get the sum of values for the "final group", append "_Sum" to it's column name, and change it into a dataframe (.reset_index)
SumGroup_df = df.groupby(["Group 1","Group 2"]).agg({'Numbers I want as percents': 'sum'}).add_suffix('_Sum').reset_index()
# Merge the two dataframes
Percents_df = pd.merge(PreGroupby_df, SumGroup_df)
# Divide the two columns
Percents_df["Percent of Final Group"] = Percents_df["Numbers I want as percents"] / Percents_df["Numbers I want as percents_Sum"] * 100
# Drop the extra _Sum column
Percents_df.drop(["Numbers I want as percents_Sum"], inplace=True, axis=1)

This method takes about ~0.15 seconds

Top answer method (using lambda function):

state_office = df.groupby(['Group 1','Group 2','Final Group']).agg({'Numbers I want as percents': 'sum'})
state_pcts = state_office.groupby(level=['Group 1','Group 2']).apply(lambda x: 100 * x / float(x.sum()))

This method takes about ~21 seconds to produce the same result.

The result:

      Group 1 Group 2 Final Group  Numbers I want as percents  Percent of Final Group

Answer 3

One-line solution:

df.join(
    df.groupby('state').agg(state_total=('sales', 'sum')),
    on='state'
).eval('sales / state_total')

This returns a Series of per-office ratios -- can be used on it's own or assigned to the original Dataframe.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

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)]})

grouped = df.groupby(['state', 'office_id'])
100*grouped.sum()/df[["state","sales"]].groupby('state').sum()

Returns:

sales
state   office_id   
AZ  2   54.587910
    4   33.009225
    6   12.402865
CA  1   32.046582
    3   44.937684
    5   23.015735
CO  1   21.099989
    3   31.848658
    5   47.051353
WA  2   43.882790
    4   10.265275
    6   45.851935

Answer 6

You can sum the whole DataFrame and divide by the state total:

# Copying setup from Paul H answer
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)]})
# Add a column with the sales divided by state total sales.
df['sales_ratio'] = (df / df.groupby(['state']).transform(sum))['sales']

df

Returns

    office_id   sales state  sales_ratio
0           1  405711    CA     0.193319
1           2  535829    WA     0.347072
2           3  217952    CO     0.198743
3           4  252315    AZ     0.192500
4           5  982371    CA     0.468094
5           6  459783    WA     0.297815
6           1  404137    CO     0.368519
7           2  222579    AZ     0.169814
8           3  710581    CA     0.338587
9           4  548242    WA     0.355113
10          5  474564    CO     0.432739
11          6  835831    AZ     0.637686

But note that this only works because all columns other than state are numeric, enabling summation of the entire DataFrame. For example, if office_id is character instead, you get an error:

df.office_id = df.office_id.astype(str)
df['sales_ratio'] = (df / df.groupby(['state']).transform(sum))['sales']

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'str' and 'str'
