# pandas.core.groupby.DataFrameGroupBy.filter

DataFrameGroupBy.filter(func, dropna=True, *args, **kwargs)

  Filter elements from groups that don’t satisfy a criterion.

  Elements from groups are filtered if they do not satisfy the boolean criterion specified by func.

  Parameters:
    funcfunction

      Criterion to apply to each group. Should return True or False.

    dropnabool

      Drop groups that do not pass the filter. True by default; if False, groups that evaluate False are filled with NaNs.

  Returns:
    DataFrame

  Notes

  Each subframe is endowed the attribute ‘name’ in case you need to know which group you are working on.

  Functions that mutate the passed object can produce unexpected behavior or errors and are not supported. See Mutating with User Defined Function (UDF) methods for more details.

  Examples

      >>> df = pd.DataFrame({'A' : ['foo', 'bar', 'foo', 'bar',
      ...                           'foo', 'bar'],
      ...                    'B' : [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
      ...                    'C' : [2.0, 5., 8., 1., 2., 9.]})
      >>> grouped = df.groupby('A')
      >>> grouped.filter(lambda x: x['B'].mean() > 3.)
           A  B    C
      1  bar  2  5.0
      3  bar  4  1.0
      5  bar  6  9.0
