Identifying Most Recent Dates in Pandas DataFrame with Duplicate ID Filter
Understanding the Problem and Requirements The problem presented in the Stack Overflow post revolves around a pandas DataFrame df containing information about dates, IDs, and duplicates. The goal is to identify the most recent date for each ID when it is duplicated, and then perform further analysis based on these values. Current Workflow and Issues The current workflow involves creating a new column 'most_recent' in the DataFrame using the ffill() method, which fills missing values with the previous non-missing value.
