使用 .loc 和 OR 运算符返回 ValueError

Question

我试图在两列中的任意一列中搜索特定值，当找到目标值时，将第三列中的数字从正数更改为负数或从负数更改为正数。

te1 = df.loc[df['Transaction Event'] == 'Exercise']
te2 = df.loc[df['Transaction Event'] == 'Assignment']
te3 = df.loc[df['Transaction Event'] == 'Expiration']
an1 = df.loc[df['Action'] == 'Delete']
nq = df['Net Quantity']
var1 = df[(df['Transaction Event'] == 'Exercise') | (df['Transaction Event'] == 'Assignment') | (df['Transaction Event'] == 'Expiration') | (df['Action'] == 'Delete')]

df.loc[df[var1], nq] = df.loc[df[var1], nq] * -1

运行此代码会返回以下错误：

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

ValueError: Boolean array expected for the condition, not float64

有谁知道是什么导致了这个错误？

Answer 1

df当您执行此操作时，您不是在创建蒙版，而是在选择蒙版的子集：

var1 = df[(df['Transaction Event'] == 'Exercise') | (df['Transaction Event'] == 'Assignment') | (df['Transaction Event'] == 'Expiration') | (df['Action'] == 'Delete')]

相反，你只需要这个：

var1 = (df['Transaction Event'] == 'Exercise') | (df['Transaction Event'] == 'Assignment') | (df['Transaction Event'] == 'Expiration') | (df['Action'] == 'Delete')

在当前代码中，您创建所需的布尔数组，但还使用df该数组另外索引到原始代码。您可以确认是否查看var1当前代码中实际包含的内容。
