Calculating Average for Previous Load Number: A Step-by-Step Guide
Calculating Average for a Previous Column Condition In this article, we will explore how to calculate the average of a column in pandas DataFrame where the value is only considered positive if it’s from a previous load number. Understanding the Problem The problem statement involves calculating an average based on a specific condition. We have a dataset with columns such as Date-Time, Diff, Load_number, and Load. The goal is to calculate the absolute average of the Diff column for each unique value in the Load_number column, but only considering positive values from previous load numbers.
