How to find the correspond value in a column due to a max value from another column group by other columns?

Question

Due a dataframe like:

COUNTRY_CODE	PDP_SOURCE	TREAT_SLIT	ATC_METRIC
AR	Aisles	ex_1	12.78
AR	Aisles	ex_2	11.28
AR	Aisles	ex_3	11.96
AR	Favorites	ex_1	12.78
AR	Favorites	ex_2	12.28
AR	Favorites	ex_3	13.96
BR	Favorites	ex_1	11.2
BR	Favorites	ex_2	10.28
BR	Favorites	ex_3	10.96

I need to groupby this by COUNTRY_CODE,PDP_SOURCE and find the TREATMENT_SPLIT which has the max ATC_METRIC value. Is there a way to do this with .groupby in pandas? the result should be something like:

COUNTRY_CODE	PDP_SOURCE	TREAT_SLIT	ATC_METRIC
AR	Aisles	ex_1	12.78
AR	Favorites	ex_3	13.96
BR	Favorites	ex_1	11.2

Answer 1

here is one way to do it

# use groupby to get the index where ATC_METRIC is max, then 
# use loc to return those rows

df.loc[df.groupby(['COUNTRY_CODE','PDP_SOURCE'] )['ATC_METRIC'] .idxmax()]

Result

    COUNTRY_CODE    PDP_SOURCE  TREAT_SLIT  ATC_METRIC
0             AR    Aisles            ex_1  12.78
5             AR    Favorites         ex_3  13.96
6             BR    Favorites         ex_1  11.20
