I have data which looks like:



| ID       | Name      | Inv | Date       | Value | PO  | Type  | Rate  | Tax   | Integ |
|----------|-----------|-----|------------|-------|-----|-------|-------|-------|-------|
| DEADBEEF | CHEMICALS | 321 | 19-11-2017 | 14288 | UK | State | 0.00% | 3000 | 0 |
| | | | | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5.00% | 10750 | 537.5 |


The software which generated this left banks for repeated data. The blank cells seen here should have the data seen in the cell above it.



The above data must ideally be like:



| ID       | Name      | Inv | Date       | Value | PO  | Type  | Rate  | Tax   | Integ |
|----------|-----------|-----|------------|-------|-----|-------|-------|-------|-------|
| DEADBEEF | CHEMICALS | 321 | 19-11-2017 | 14288 | UK | State | 0.00% | 3000 | 0 |
| DEADBEEF | CHEMICALS | 321 | 19-11-2017 | 14288 | UK | State | 5.00% | 10750 | 537.5 |


As you can see the columns 1-7 have been populated with the data seen above it. How do I do this in pandas.



I need to:




  • Identify blanks or NULLs in "ID" (column 1)

  • Populate that row: column 1 ot 7 with the data above that row.

          Use mask with forward filling missing values:



          df = df.mask(df == 0).ffill()


          Or:



          df = df.mask(df.isin(['', 0])).ffill()


          If want also change first row filled by missing values to 0 only for numeric columns:



          num = df.select_dtypes(np.number).columns
          d = dict.fromkeys(num, 0)
          print (d)
          {'Inv': 0, 'Value': 0, 'Tax': 0, 'Integ': 0}

          df = df.mask(df == 0).ffill().fillna(d)
