Problem with mutate

[Shelmith-Kariuki]

I am trying to generate a variable, based on conditions of another variable, but the mutate function is failing.

Dplython could be better at dealing with external functions (like np.where). You'd either need to make sure np.where can handle the X object, or use another piece of code. Dplython has some other built in functions for common cases like this. My guess is
mutate(Jinsia = if_else(X.Gender == "Female", "Mke", "Mme")
will do what you want.

Thanks for your reply. That also fails, with the following error, see screenshot attached. Kind regards, Shelmith

Sorry, looks like you're correct. How about this:

where = DelayFunction(np.where)
wf_df >> mutate(Jinsia = where(X.Gender == "Female", "Mke", "Mme"))

Woohoo!!! That works!!. I am opening another issue, on the spread function.
