I have a dataframe with about 100 columns that looks like this:
Id Economics-1 English-107 English-2 History-3 Economics-zz Economics-2 \
0 56 1 1 0 1 0 0
1 11 0 0 0 0 1 0
2 6 0 0 1 0 0 1
3 43 0 0 0 1 0 1
4 14 0 1 0 0 1 0
Histo Economics-51 Literature-re Literatureu4
0 1 0 1 0
1 0 0 0 1
2 0 0 0 0
3 0 1 1 0
4 1 0 0 0
My goal is to leave only global categories -- English, History, Literature -- and write the sum of the value of their components, respectively, in this dataframe. For instance, "English" would be the sum of "English-107" and "English-2":
Id Economics English History Literature
0 56 1 1 2 1
1 11 1 0 0 1
2 6 0 1 1 0
3 43 2 0 1 1
4 14 0 1 1 0
For this purpose, I have tried two methods. First method:
df = pd.read_csv(file_path, sep='\t')
df['History'] = df.loc[df[df.columns[pd.Series(df.columns).str.startswith('History')]].sum(axes=1)]
Second method:
df = pd.read_csv(file_path, sep='\t')
filter_col = [col for col in list(df) if col.startswith('History')]
df['History'] = 0 # initialize value, otherwise throws KeyError
for c in df[filter_col]:
df['History'] = df[filter_col].sum(axes=1)
print df['History', df[filter_col]]
However, both gives the error:
TypeError: 'DataFrame' objects are mutable, thus they cannot be hashed
My question is either: how can I debug this error or is there another solution for my problem. Notice that I have a rather large dataframe with about 100 columns and 400000 rows, so I'm looking for an optimized solution, like using loc in pandas.

To sum a column using a named range:Highlight the range of data that you want to name. Under the Formulas menu, click Define Name. Enter a name for your range and click OK. Select the cell where you want the sum to appear, and type =SUM( followed by the name of your range and a closed bracket.
The sum() method adds all values in each column and returns the sum for each column. By specifying the column axis ( axis='columns' ), the sum() method searches column-wise and returns the sum of each row.
Calculate Sum of Given Columns To sum given or list of columns then create a list with all columns you wanted and slice the DataFrame with the selected list of columns and use the sum() function. Use df['Sum']=df[col_list]. sum(axis=1) to get the total sum.
Use DataFrame. groupby(). sum() to group rows based on one or multiple columns and calculate sum agg function. groupby() function returns a DataFrameGroupBy object which contains an aggregate function sum() to calculate a sum of a given column for each group.
You can use these to create sum of columns starting with specific name,
df['Economics']= df[list(df.filter(regex='Economics'))].sum(axis=1)
