I have a dataframe like below. The column Mfr Number
is a categorical data type. I'd like to preform get_dummies
or one hot encoding on it, but instead of filling in the new column with a 1 if it's from that row, I want it to fill in the value from the quantity
column. All the other new 'dummies' should remain a 0 on that row. Is this possible?
Datetime Mfr Number quantity
0 2016-03-15 07:02:00 MWS0460MB 1
1 2016-03-15 07:03:00 TM-120-6X 3
2 2016-03-15 08:33:00 40.50699.0095 5
3 2016-03-15 08:42:00 40.50699.0100 1
4 2016-03-15 08:46:00 CXS-04T098-00-0703R-1025 10

Do it in two steps:
