I have a following dataframe:
case c1 c2
1 x x
2 NaN y
3 x NaN
4 y x
5 NaN NaN
I would like to get a column "match" which will show which records with values in "c1" and "c2" are equal or different:
case c1 c2 match
1 x x True
2 NaN y False
3 x NaN False
4 y x False
5 NaN NaN True
I tried the following based on another Stack Overflow question: Comparing two columns and keeping NaNs However, I can't get both cases 4 and 5 correct.
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df = pd.DataFrame({
'case': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
'c1': ['x', np.nan,'x','y', np.nan],
'c2': ['x', 'y',np.nan,'x', np.nan],
})
cond1 = df['c1'] == df['c2']
cond2 = (df['c1'].isnull()) == (df['c2'].isnull())
df['c3'] = np.select([cond1, cond2], [True, True], False)
df
Use eq with isna:
df.c1.eq(df.c2)|df.iloc[:, 1:].isna().all(1)
#or
df.c1.eq(df.c2)|df.loc[:, ['c1','c2']].isna().all(1)
