Repeat rows in a pandas DataFrame based on column value

Repeat rows in a pandas DataFrame based on column value

To repeat rows in a pandas DataFrame based on the value in a specific column, you can use the repeat() method along with the loc[] indexer. Here's how you can do it:

Assuming you have a DataFrame named df and you want to repeat rows based on the value in the 'count' column:

import pandas as pd

# Sample DataFrame
data = {'value': ['A', 'B', 'C'],
        'count': [2, 3, 1]}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)

# Repeat rows based on 'count' column
repeated_rows = df.loc[df.index.repeat(df['count'])].reset_index(drop=True)

print(repeated_rows)

Output:

  value  count
0     A      2
1     A      2
2     B      3
3     B      3
4     B      3
5     C      1

In this example, the repeat() method is used on the DataFrame's index, which repeats each index label based on the value in the 'count' column. Then, the loc[] indexer is used to retrieve the repeated rows based on the repeated index labels. The reset_index(drop=True) function is used to reset the index and drop the original index, resulting in the final DataFrame with repeated rows.

Each row is repeated based on the value in the 'count' column. For instance, if the 'count' column has a value of 3 for a row, that row will be repeated three times in the resulting DataFrame.
