Pandas DataFrame Groupby two columns and get counts


I have a pandas dataframe in the following format:

df = pd.DataFrame([
    [1.1, 1.1, 1.1, 2.6, 2.5, 3.4,2.6,2.6,3.4,3.4,2.6,1.1,1.1,3.3], 
    list('AAABBBBABCBDDD'), 
    [1.1, 1.7, 2.5, 2.6, 3.3, 3.8,4.0,4.2,4.3,4.5,4.6,4.7,4.7,4.8], 
    ['x/y/z','x/y','x/y/z/n','x/u','x','x/u/v','x/y/z','x','x/u/v/b','-','x/y','x/y/z','x','x/u/v/w'],
    ['1','3','3','2','4','2','5','3','6','3','5','1','1','1']
]).T
df.columns = ['col1','col2','col3','col4','col5']

df:

   col1 col2 col3     col4 col5
0   1.1    A  1.1    x/y/z    1
1   1.1    A  1.7      x/y    3
2   1.1    A  2.5  x/y/z/n    3
3   2.6    B  2.6      x/u    2
4   2.5    B  3.3        x    4
5   3.4    B  3.8    x/u/v    2
6   2.6    B    4    x/y/z    5
7   2.6    A  4.2        x    3
8   3.4    B  4.3  x/u/v/b    6
9   3.4    C  4.5        -    3
10  2.6    B  4.6      x/y    5
11  1.1    D  4.7    x/y/z    1
12  1.1    D  4.7        x    1
13  3.3    D  4.8  x/u/v/w    1

I want to get the count by each row like following. Expected Output:

col5 col2 count
1    A      1
     D      3
2    B      2
etc...

How to get my expected output? And I want to find largest count for each 'col2' value?


Solution

  • Followed by @Andy's answer, you can do following to solve your second question:

    In [56]: df.groupby(['col5','col2']).size().reset_index().groupby('col2')[[0]].max()
    Out[56]: 
          0
    col2   
    A     3
    B     2
    C     1
    D     3
