I have a excel file, i need to write the specific value in a set of specific row:
For Ex: i have 20 rows and 5 columns
i need to add new column, and write the new column value(as x in first 5 rows, next 5 values (y) in next 5 rows and so on).
may i know how to achieve it?



col1    col2    col3   col4     
1 a1 b1 c1
2 a2 * *

15 a15 * *
16 a16 * c16
17 a17 * c17
18 a18 * c18

Use floor division by 5 first and then map by dictionary - if some value is missing in dict get NaNs in output column:



vals = ['aa','bb','cc','dd','ee']
d = dict(enumerate(vals))
print (d)
{0: 'aa', 1: 'bb', 2: 'cc', 3: 'dd', 4: 'ee'}

#default range index
df['new'] = (df.index // 5).map(d.get)
#general solution
#df['new'] = pd.Series(np.arange(len(df)) // 5, index=df.index).map(d)
print (df)
col1 col2 col3 col4 new
0 1 a1 b1 c1 aa
1 2 a2 * * aa
2 3 a3 * * aa
3 4 a4 * * aa
4 5 a5 * * aa
5 6 a6 * * bb
6 7 a7 * * bb
7 8 a8 * * bb
8 9 a9 * * bb
9 10 a10 * * bb
10 11 a11 * * cc
11 12 a12 * * cc
12 13 a13 * * cc
