Is there a quick way in panda that I can add a column containing numbers which uniquely indexes (I am not sure if it is the correct terminology) one of the columns of the table?
E.g. there is such a table:
A B
0 foo one
1 bar one
2 foo two
3 bar three
4 foo two
5 bar two
6 foo one
7 foo three
if the newly added column is "id" and the uniquely indexed column is A, the result should be:
A B id
0 foo one 1
1 bar one 2
2 foo two 1
3 bar three 2
4 foo two 1
5 bar two 2
6 foo one 1
7 foo three 1
Thanks in advance
