I'm rather new at python. I try to have a cumulative sum for each client to see the consequential months of inactivity (flag: 1 or 0). The cumulative sum of the 1's need therefore to be reset when we have a 0. The reset need to happen as well when we have a new client. See below with example where a is the column of clients and b are the dates.
After some research, I found the question 'Cumsum reset at NaN' and 'In Python Pandas using cumsum with groupby'. I assume that I kind of need to put them together. Adapting the code of 'Cumsum reset at NaN' to the reset towards 0, is successful:
cumsum = v.cumsum().fillna(method='pad')
reset = -cumsum[v.isnull() !=0].diff().fillna(cumsum)
result = v.where(v.notnull(), reset).cumsum()
However, I don't succeed at adding a groupby. My count just goes on...
So, a dataset would be like this: import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({'a' : [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2,2],
'b' : [1/15,2/15,3/15,4/15,5/15,6/15,1/15,2/15,3/15,4/15,5/15,6/15],
'c' : [1,0,1,0,1,1,0,1,1,0,1,1,1,1]})
this should result in a dataframe with the columns a, b, c and d with
'd' : [1,0,1,0,1,2,0,1,2,0,1,2,3,4]
Please note that I have a very large dataset, so calculation time is really important.
Thank you for helping me
