Best Way to add group totals to a dataframe in Pandas
I have a simple task that I'm wondering if there is a better / more efficient way to do. I have a dataframe that looks like this: Group Score Count 0 A 5 100 1 A 1 50 2 A 3 5 3 B 1 40 4 B 2 20 5 B 1 60 And I want to add a column that holds the value of the group total count: Group Score Count TotalCount 0 A 5 100 155 1 A 1 50 155 2 A 3 5 155 3 B 1 40 120 4 B 2 20 120 5 B 1 60 120 The way I did this was: Grouped=df.groupby('Group')['Count'].sum().reset_index() Grouped=Grouped.rename(columns={'Count':'TotalCount'}) df=pd.merge(df, Grouped, on='Group', how='left') Is there a better / cleaner way
