Merging Duplicate Rows in a Pandas DataFrame Using Sums or Groupby
Problem Explanation The problem requires us to merge two dataframes based on a common column ‘Pid’. The first dataframe contains duplicate rows with the same ‘Pid’ value, and we need to determine which row is the original and which are duplicates. We want to keep one copy of each unique ‘Pid’ value. Solution To solve this problem, we can use the sum function on the ‘Pid’ column in the first dataframe, then convert it back to an integer type.
