Two conditional checks inside a Panda data frame access












0














The command below works fine



idx = np.asarray(df.loc[df['lat1'] != '.'].ix[:,0].index)


but I'm trying to do something like this (with 2 conditions):



idx = np.asarray(df.loc[df['lat1'] != '.' and df['state'] == df['state'][0]].ix[:,0].index)


This throws the following traceback:



Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<ipython-input-274-c07cda0be195>", line 1, in <module>
idx = np.asarray(df.loc[df['lat1'] != '.' and df['state'] == df['state'][0]].ix[:,0].index)

File "/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pandas/core/generic.py", line 1573, in __nonzero__
.format(self.__class__.__name__))

ValueError: The truth value of a Series is ambiguous. Use a.empty, a.bool(), a.item(), a.any() or a.all().


I've looked it up but not able to find a suitable tweak for this case. Any leads would be appreciated.



[EDIT]: Based on the suggestion below, when I try this:



df[(df['lat1']!='.') & (df['state']== df['state'][0])]


I get



        lat1    long1          ...          state                county
5 34 11 ... AK Anchorage

44 1 -4 ... AK Anchorage

102 4 -1 ... AK Fairbanks North Star
106 4 -1 ... AK Matanuska Susitna
137 3 -3 ... AK Matanuska Susitna

[11 rows x 5 columns]


How do I extract only the first column containing the indices?

          df[(df['lat1']!='.') & (df['state']== df['state'][0])]
