Changing a column value in pandas dataframe excluding the tail in group by

Let's take an example of a python dataframe.



ID Age Bp



1 22 1



1 22 1



1 22 0



1 22 1



2 21 0



2 21 1



2 21 0



In the above code, the last n series for column BP (lets consider n to be 2) with group by ID should be excluded and the rest of the BP should be changed to 0. I have tried it with tail but it does not work.



It should look like this.



ID Age BP



1 22 0



1 22 0



1 22 0



1 22 1



2 21 0



2 21 1



2 21 0

          Use cumcount with ascending=False for counter from back per groups and assign 0 with numpy.where:



          n = 2
          mask = df.groupby('ID').cumcount(ascending=False) < n
          df['Bp'] = np.where(mask, df['Bp'], 0)


          Alternatives:



          df.loc[~mask, 'Bp'] = 0
          df['Bp'] = df['Bp'].where(mask, 0)



          print (df)

          4 2 21 0
