Pandas percentage of total with groupby

This is obviously simple, but as a numpy newbe I'm getting stuck.

I have a CSV file that contains 3 columns, the State, the Office ID, and the Sales for that office.

I want to calculate the percentage of sales per office in a given state (total of all percentages in each state is 100%).

df = pd.DataFrame({'state': ['CA', 'WA', 'CO', 'AZ'] * 3,
                   'office_id': range(1, 7) * 2,
                   'sales': [np.random.randint(100000, 999999)
                             for _ in range(12)]})

df.groupby(['state', 'office_id']).agg({'sales': 'sum'})

This returns:

                  sales
state office_id        
AZ    2          839507
      4          373917
      6          347225
CA    1          798585
      3          890850
      5          454423
CO    1          819975
      3          202969
      5          614011
WA    2          163942
      4          369858
      6          959285

I can't seem to figure out how to "reach up" to the state level of the groupby to total up the sales for the entire state to calculate the fraction.


Solution 1:

Paul H's answer is right that you will have to make a second groupby object, but you can calculate the percentage in a simpler way -- just groupby the state_office and divide the sales column by its sum. Copying the beginning of Paul H's answer:

# From Paul H
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
np.random.seed(0)
df = pd.DataFrame({'state': ['CA', 'WA', 'CO', 'AZ'] * 3,
                   'office_id': list(range(1, 7)) * 2,
                   'sales': [np.random.randint(100000, 999999)
                             for _ in range(12)]})
state_office = df.groupby(['state', 'office_id']).agg({'sales': 'sum'})
# Change: groupby state_office and divide by sum
state_pcts = state_office.groupby(level=0).apply(lambda x:
                                                 100 * x / float(x.sum()))

Returns:

                     sales
state office_id           
AZ    2          16.981365
      4          19.250033
      6          63.768601
CA    1          19.331879
      3          33.858747
      5          46.809373
CO    1          36.851857
      3          19.874290
      5          43.273852
WA    2          34.707233
      4          35.511259
      6          29.781508

Solution 2:

You need to make a second groupby object that groups by the states, and then use the div method:

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
np.random.seed(0)
df = pd.DataFrame({'state': ['CA', 'WA', 'CO', 'AZ'] * 3,
               'office_id': list(range(1, 7)) * 2,
               'sales': [np.random.randint(100000, 999999) for _ in range(12)]})

state_office = df.groupby(['state', 'office_id']).agg({'sales': 'sum'})
state = df.groupby(['state']).agg({'sales': 'sum'})
state_office.div(state, level='state') * 100


                     sales
state office_id           
AZ    2          16.981365
      4          19.250033
      6          63.768601
CA    1          19.331879
      3          33.858747
      5          46.809373
CO    1          36.851857
      3          19.874290
      5          43.273852
WA    2          34.707233
      4          35.511259
      6          29.781508

the level='state' kwarg in div tells pandas to broadcast/join the dataframes base on the values in the state level of the index.

Solution 3:

For conciseness I'd use the SeriesGroupBy:

In [11]: c = df.groupby(['state', 'office_id'])['sales'].sum().rename("count")

In [12]: c
Out[12]:
state  office_id
AZ     2            925105
       4            592852
       6            362198
CA     1            819164
       3            743055
       5            292885
CO     1            525994
       3            338378
       5            490335
WA     2            623380
       4            441560
       6            451428
Name: count, dtype: int64

In [13]: c / c.groupby(level=0).sum()
Out[13]:
state  office_id
AZ     2            0.492037
       4            0.315321
       6            0.192643
CA     1            0.441573
       3            0.400546
       5            0.157881
CO     1            0.388271
       3            0.249779
       5            0.361949
WA     2            0.411101
       4            0.291196
       6            0.297703
Name: count, dtype: float64

For multiple groups you have to use transform (using Radical's df):

In [21]: c =  df.groupby(["Group 1","Group 2","Final Group"])["Numbers I want as percents"].sum().rename("count")

In [22]: c / c.groupby(level=[0, 1]).transform("sum")
Out[22]:
Group 1  Group 2  Final Group
AAHQ     BOSC     OWON           0.331006
                  TLAM           0.668994
         MQVF     BWSI           0.288961
                  FXZM           0.711039
         ODWV     NFCH           0.262395
...
Name: count, dtype: float64

This seems to be slightly more performant than the other answers (just less than twice the speed of Radical's answer, for me ~0.08s).

Solution 4:

(This solution is inspired from this article https://pbpython.com/pandas_transform.html)

I find the following solution to be the simplest(and probably the fastest) using transformation:

Transformation: While aggregation must return a reduced version of the data, transformation can return some transformed version of the full data to recombine. For such a transformation, the output is the same shape as the input.

So using transformation, the solution is 1-liner:

df['%'] = 100 * df['sales'] / df.groupby('state')['sales'].transform('sum')

And if you print:

print(df.sort_values(['state', 'office_id']).reset_index(drop=True))
