Compare dataframe columns with conditions
1
I have 2 dataframes as below:
df1:
ID col1 col2
1 A1 B1
2 A2 B2
3 A3 B3
4 A4 B4
5 A5 B5
6 A6 B6
df2:
col1 col2
A1 B1
A2 O5
H3 B3
A4 B4
A5 66
A6 C6
Expected Result: I would like to generate a result df based on the condition - Each value in col1,col2 of df1 should exist in col1,col2 values of df2
Expected Result df:
ID col1 col2 Error
1 A1 B1 No mismatch with df2
2 A2 B2 col2 mismatch with df2
3 A3 B3 col1 mismatch with df2
4 A4 B4 No mismatch with df2
5 A5 B5 col2 mismatch with df2
6 A6 B6 col2 mismatch with df2

You do not have list in df2
– Wen-Ben
Nov 22 '18 at 1:25
list is a column in df1 and its value list1 and list2 are just dropdownlist names ; the accepted values are given in columns list1,list2 in df2. So, the data from column "value" of df1 based on its list value should be checked with df2 list1 & list2 values.

Create helper DataFrame with dictionary comprehension and comparing with isin:
m = pd.DataFrame({c: ~df1[c].isin(df2[c]) for c in ['col1','col2']})
print (m)
col1 col2
0 False False
1 False True
2 True False
3 False False
4 False True
5 False True
And then numpy.where with mask by any for test at least one True per rows and dot with matrix multiplication for get column names:
df1['Error'] = np.where(m.any(axis=1),
m.dot(m.columns + ', ').str.rstrip(', ') + ' mismatch with df2',
'No mismatch with df2')
print (df1)
ID col1 col2 Error
0 1 A1 B1 No mismatch with df2
1 2 A2 B2 col2 mismatch with df2
2 3 A3 B3 col1 mismatch with df2
3 4 A4 B4 No mismatch with df2
4 5 A5 B5 col2 mismatch with df2
5 6 A6 B6 col2 mismatch with df2

Something like this should do the trick but there may be an easier way.
diff = pd.concat([df1[col] == df2[col] for col in df1], axis=1)
def m(row):
mismatches =
for col in diff.columns:
if not row[col]:
mismatches.append(col)
if mismatches == :
return 'No mismatch'
return 'Mismatches: ' + ', '.join(mismatches)
df1['Error'] = diff.apply(m, axis=1)

When I try this, I get the error "ValueError: Can only compare identically-labeled Series objects"

@Osceria do you get the same error with the following reproducible datasets:df1 = pd.DataFrame({'col1': ["A1", "A2", "A3", "A4", "A5", "A6"], 'col2': ["B1", "B2", "B3", "B4", "B5", "B6"]}) df2 = pd.DataFrame({'col1': ["A1", "A2", "H3", "A4", "A5", "A6"], 'col2': ["B1", "O5", "B3", "B4", "66", "C6"]})

It's because yourdf1anddf2had different columns, right? I noticed you edited the question now, does it work with those dataframes?

If I run what I answered with the dataframes above, it seems like it works.

You do not have list in df2
– Wen-Ben
Nov 22 '18 at 1:25
list is a column in df1 and its value list1 and list2 are just dropdownlist names ; the accepted values are given in columns list1,list2 in df2. So, the data from column "value" of df1 based on its list value should be checked with df2 list1 & list2 values.
