Get topmost N records within each group

Firstly, we created a pandas dataframe in Python:

Python3




#importing pandas as pd
import pandas as pd
 
#creating dataframe
df=pd.DataFrame({ 'Variables': ['A','A','A','A','B','B',
                                'B','C','C','C','C'],
                 'Value': [2,5,0,3,1,0,9,0,7,5,4]})
df


Output:

   Variables  Value
0          A      2
1          A      5
2          A      0
3          A      3
4          B      1
5          B      0
6          B      9
7          C      0
8          C      7
9          C      5
10         C      4

Get topmost N records within each group of a Pandas DataFrame

Firstly, the pandas dataframe stores data in the form of a table. In some situations we need to retrieve data from dataframe according to some conditions. Such as if we want to get top N records of each group of the dataframe. We create the dataframe and use the methods mentioned below.

Using nlargest() function of pandas to group the columns

Now, we will get topmost N values of each group of the ‘Variables’ column. Here reset_index() is used to provide a new index according to the grouping of data. And head() is used to get topmost N values from the top....
