combine_first(self, other) -> 'Series'

Combine two Series objects by filling null values in one Series with non-null values from the other Series. Result index will be the union of the two indexes.

Parameters

other : Series

The value(s) to be used for filling null values.

Returns

Series

The result of combining the provided Series with the other object.

Update null elements with value in the same location in 'other'.

See Also

Series.combine

Perform element-wise operation on two Series using a given function.

Examples

This example is valid syntax, but we were not able to check execution
>>> s1 = pd.Series([1, np.nan])
... s2 = pd.Series([3, 4, 5])
... s1.combine_first(s2) 0 1.0 1 4.0 2 5.0 dtype: float64

Null values still persist if the location of that null value does not exist in other

This example is valid syntax, but we were not able to check execution
>>> s1 = pd.Series({'falcon': np.nan, 'eagle': 160.0})
... s2 = pd.Series({'eagle': 200.0, 'duck': 30.0})
... s1.combine_first(s2) duck 30.0 eagle 160.0 falcon NaN dtype: float64

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
