pandas.api.typing.SeriesGroupBy.idxmin — pandas 3.0.0rc0+34.g04a554c9f1 documentation (original) (raw)

SeriesGroupBy.idxmin(skipna=True)[source]#

Return the row label of the minimum value.

If multiple values equal the minimum, the first row label with that value is returned.

Parameters:

skipnabool, default True

Exclude NA values.

Returns:

Series

Indexes of minima in each group.

Raises:

ValueError

When there are no valid values for a group. Then can happen if:

• There is an unobserved group and observed=False.
• All values for a group are NA.
• Some values for a group are NA and skipna=False.

Changed in version 3.0.0: Previously if all values for a group are NA or some values for a group are NA and skipna=False, this method would return NA. Now it raises instead.
