df.columns = ['A', 'B', 'C']
I need to keep in dataframe all rows with minimum values of 'C' column grouped by 'A' column and remain B the same. There is almost same theme here but if i use
df.loc[df.groupby('A').C.idxmin()]
Only one minimum row remains, and i need all of them. Expected result:
Let's try with groupby.transform
to get the minimum value of C per group and compare with df['C']
and keep those C
values that equal the minimum:
df.loc[df.groupby('A')['C'].transform('min').eq(df['C'])].reset_index(drop=True)
A B C
0 SAM 23 1
1 SAM 23 1
2 BILL 36 1
3 BILL 36 1
4 JIMMY 33 2
5 JIMMY 33 2
6 CARTER 25 3
7 GRACE 27 4
