Validate Pandas dataframe column based on hierarchy

I have a dataframe like this



df1 = pd.DataFrame({'Site': ["S1", "S2", "S3", "S4", "S5", "S6","S7","S8","S9"],  
'Sitelink': [" ","S1","S2","S6","S4"," ","S8"," ","S7"],
'level': ["R", "T", "P", "T", "P", "R","T","R","P"],
'Weight':["55","55","55","85","85","80","150","190","200"]})


column 'Site' will be always unique



column 'Sitelink' captures the next lower level site to each Site



column 'level' has 3 values- R, T, P where the hierarchy is R < T < P.



column 'Weight' can be any value.



The output should satisfy the condition that weight of a higher level site should be always lesser than or equal to lower level site. Expected result dataframe should be like



Output Dataframe



I'm trying to loop the dataframe and compare each site with next level. Is there a better approach to do this?

If i understand correctly, you would like to to check if for each row the weight of the site is lower than or equal to the weight of the site marked as the Sitelink.



The code for a single row would than be:



def is_error(row):
if row['Sitelink'] == " ":
return 'No Error'
site_link = df.loc[df['Site'] == row['Sitelink']]
if int(row['Weight']) <= int(site_link['Weight']):
return 'No Error'
else:
return 'Higher than lower'


Therefore we could apply this line for each row using the apply function:



df['Error'] = df.apply(is_error, axis=1)
