I have a data set which contains 5 columns, I want to print the content of a column called 'CONTENT' only when the column 'CLASS' equals one. I know that using .query allows me to select a condition, but it prints the whole data set. I tried to drop the unwanted columns, but I finished up with unaligned and not completed data: -

CONTENT CLASS

  • $\begingroup$ I think this already has answer on stackoverflow. Also, what's wrong with the data you got? It is showing all 348 rows. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @AnkitSeth This worked for me, but the output is like the one I got, the content is not completed (long content end with '...'). Is there anyway to show the whole content? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Which editor are you using? If you want to print the whole content, use a for loop and print the lines which you want to see. By default, it will not show this much long strings. $\endgroup$

In Pandas slice notation one must first indicate the condition to filter on and only eventually the column to select: in particular for the example at hand we have:

df[df['CLASS']==1]['CONTENT']

Assuming your data frame is called df:

df2 = df[df['CLASS'] == 1]

print(df2['CONTENT'])

As shown in the comments on the original post and in one of the other answers, you can indicate the filter condition either BEFORE or AFTER the column to select. Confirming this behavior: 

>>> import pandas
>>> df = pandas.DataFrame({'CLASS': [0,1], 'CONTENT': [1,6]})
>>> df
  CLASS  CONTENT
  0      0        1
  1      1        6
>>> print df['CONTENT'][df['CLASS'] == 1]
1    6

>>> print df[df['CLASS'] == 1]['CONTENT']
1    6

The "conditional-after-content" arrangement is perhaps a bit easier to read.

An example method to print multiple columns with having one condition:

print(df[df["Total Profit"]>1000000][["Region","Country", "Item Type", "Total Profit"]])

An example method to print multiple columns with having multiple conditions:

print(df[df["Total Profit"]>1000000][df["Region"]=="Europe"][["Region","Country", "Item Type", "Total Profit"]])

The above code are examples, not solutions to the given problem.
