Keep row and next one based on conditions - Pandas












0















I need to clean a dataset that is similar to the following:

The expected result looks like this:

In other words, I need to keep all rows that (1) have 'action' in the column 'ACTION' and the immediate next one - (2) if the next one has 'result' in that column.
I've tried several combination of .shift(), but it did not work.



Thanks in advance.

          You could try something like this:



          df.assign(step=df['Action'].eq('action').cumsum())
          .drop_duplicates(subset=['Action','step'], keep='first')
          .groupby('step')
          .filter(lambda x: x.step.count()==2)


          Output:



              SESSION  Action  TIME  step
          0 1 action 0.1 1
          1 1 result 0.2 1
          2 2 action 0.1 2
          3 2 result 0.2 2
          4 3 action 0.3 3
          5 3 result 0.4 3
          7 1 action 0.3 4
          8 1 result 0.4 4
          12 3 action 0.6 6
          13 3 result 0.7 6
          14 4 action 0.8 7
          15 4 result 0.9 7
