Fixed Pandas GroupBy Transform: Ensuring Date Column Integrity in Data Merging
The issue with the original code is that it sets the ‘Date’ column as index before merging with other dataframes, which causes the date column to be dropped during the merge process. To fix this issue, we can use the groupby_transform function provided by pandas, which allows us to broadcast computed values to all records in a group. This way, we don’t need to set the ‘Date’ column as index before merging with other dataframes.
