I am trying to determine whether there is an entry in a Pandas column that has a particular value. I tried to do this with if x in df['id']. I thought this was working, except when I fed it a value that I knew was not in the column 43 in df['id'] it still returned True. When I subset to a data frame only containing entries matching the missing id df[df['id'] == 43] there are, obviously, no entries in it. How to I determine if a column in a Pandas data frame contains a particular value and why doesn't my current method work? (FYI, I have the same problem when I use the implementation in this answer to a similar question).

Series的in检查该值是否在索引中:

In [11]: s = pd.Series(list('abc'))

In [12]: s
Out[12]: 
0    a
1    b
2    c
dtype: object

In [13]: 1 in s
Out[13]: True

In [14]: 'a' in s
Out[14]: False

一种选择是查看它是否为唯一值:

In [21]: s.unique()
Out[21]: array(['a', 'b', 'c'], dtype=object)

In [22]: 'a' in s.unique()
Out[22]: True

或者一个python集合:

In [23]: set(s)
Out[23]: {'a', 'b', 'c'}

In [24]: 'a' in set(s)
Out[24]: True

正如@DSM所指出的,直接在值上使用in可能更有效(特别是如果你只对一个值执行此操作):

In [31]: s.values
Out[31]: array(['a', 'b', 'c'], dtype=object)

In [32]: 'a' in s.values
Out[32]: True

或者用级数。tolist或Series.any:

>>> s = pd.Series(list('abc'))
>>> s
0    a
1    b
2    c
dtype: object
>>> 'a' in s.tolist()
True
>>> (s=='a').any()
True

系列。tolist做了一个关于一个系列的列表,而另一个我只是从一个常规系列中获得一个布尔系列,然后检查是否有任何真布尔系列。

Use

df[df['id']==x].index.tolist()

如果x存在于id中,那么它将返回它所在位置的索引列表,否则它将给出一个空列表。

Out[31]: array(['a', 'b', 'c'], dtype=object)

In [32]: 'a' in s.values

found = df[df['Column'].str.contains('Text_to_search')]
print(found.count())

find .count()将包含匹配数

如果它是0,那么意味着字符串没有在列中找到。

我做了一些简单的测试:

In [10]: x = pd.Series(range(1000000))

In [13]: timeit 999999 in x.values
567 µs ± 25.6 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000 loops each)

In [24]: timeit 9 in x.values
666 µs ± 15.7 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000 loops each)

In [16]: timeit (x == 999999).any()
6.86 ms ± 107 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100 loops each)

In [21]: timeit x.eq(999999).any()
7.03 ms ± 33.7 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100 loops each)

In [22]: timeit x.eq(9).any()
7.04 ms ± 60 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100 loops each)

In [15]: timeit x.isin([999999]).any()
9.54 ms ± 291 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100 loops each)

In [17]: timeit 999999 in set(x)
79.8 ms ± 1.98 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10 loops each)

有趣的是,不管你是查找9还是999999,似乎使用in语法所花费的时间是相同的(一定是使用了某种向量化计算)

In [24]: timeit 9 in x.values
666 µs ± 15.7 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000 loops each)

In [25]: timeit 9999 in x.values
647 µs ± 5.21 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000 loops each)

In [26]: timeit 999999 in x.values
642 µs ± 2.11 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000 loops each)

In [27]: timeit 99199 in x.values
644 µs ± 5.31 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000 loops each)

In [28]: timeit 1 in x.values
667 µs ± 20.8 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000 loops each)

似乎使用x.values是最快的,但也许在pandas中有更优雅的方法?
