the first dataframe is:
data_date cookie_type dau next_dau dau_7 dau_15
0 20181006 avg(0-d) 2288 NaN NaN NaN
1 20181006 avg(e-f) 2284 NaN NaN NaN
2 20181007 avg(e-f) 2296 100 NaN NaN
the second dataframe is :
data_date cookie_type next_dau
0 20181006 avg(e-f) 908
1 20181006 avg(0-d) 904
how to update the first dataframe's next_dau from the second one i have tried combine_first and fillna, they seem not support multi-index:
cols = ['data_date', 'cookie_type']
if (frame1 is not None and not frame1.empty):
frame1.set_index(cols)
print(frame1)
print(next_day_dau)
frame1.combine_first(next_day_dau.set_index(cols))
frame1.combine_first(dau_7.set_index(cols))
frame1.combine_first(dau_15.set_index(cols))
then i updated to:
frame1.index = frame1.data_date.astype(str) + frame1.cookie_type
next_day_dau.index = next_day_dau.data_date.astype(str) + next_day_dau.cookie_type
dau_7.index = dau_7.data_date.astype(str) + dau_7.cookie_type
dau_15.index = dau_15.data_date.astype(str) + dau_15.cookie_type
"""frame1.loc[next_day_dau.index, "next_dau"] = next_day_dau.next_dau
frame1.loc[dau_7.index, "dau_7"] = dau_7.dau_7
frame1.loc[dau_15.index, "dau_15"] = dau_15.dau_15"""
frame1.combine_first(next_day_dau)
frame1.combine_first(dau_7)
frame1.combine_first(dau_15)
print(frame1)
print(next_day_dau)
loc raise a error because of next_day_dau dose not contain all the indexes in frame1 then i tried combine-first and fillna with inplace=True ,all dont work.
