Pandas merging two dataframes with different number of multiindices












0















Welcome, I have a simple question, to which I haven't found a solution.



I have two dataframes df1 and df2:





  • df1 contains several columns and a multiindex as year-month-week


  • df2 contains the multiindex year-week with only one column in the df.




I would like to create an inner join of df1 and df2, joining on 'year' and 'week'.





I have tried to do the following:



df1['newcol'] = df1.index.get_level_values(2).map(lambda x: df2.newcol[x])


Which only joins on month (or year?), is there any way to expand it so that the merge is actually right?



Thanks in advance!



df1



df2

    Can you provide a sample dataframe via a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example.

    Did you try pd.merge([df1, df2], how = 'inner', on = ['year', 'week']?

Eventually i solved with with removing the multiindex and doing a good old inner join on the two columns and then recreating the multiindex at the end.
Here are the sniplets:



df=df.reset_index()



df2=df2.reset_index()



df['year']=df['year'].apply(int)



df2['year']=df2['year'].apply(int)



df['week']=df['week'].apply(int)



df2['week']=df2['week'].apply(int)



result = pd.merge(df, df2, how='left', left_on= ['year','week'],right_on= ['year','week'])



result=result.set_index(['year', 'month','week','day'])
