Fill date into columns

I have table:

I need to create a new column "install", which will be filled with the date from the "date" column for all rows grouped by user_id, while the date must be taken from the event event_type=’install’.

The resulting table should look like this:

>Solution :

You can use groupby.first to get the first install per group, then map to map it per user_id:

# get first install value (if you have duplicates you would need to get the min)
d = df[df['event_type'].eq('install')].groupby(df['user_id'])['date'].first()

# map the values per user_id
df['install'] = df['user_id'].map(d)

output:

   user_id event_type        date     install
0        1    install  01-01-2021  01-01-2021
1        1      login  02-01-2021  01-01-2021
2        1      login  04-01-2021  01-01-2021

As a one liner:

df['install'] = df['user_id'].map(df[df['event_type'].eq('install')]
                                    .groupby(df['user_id'])['date'].first())
