I have a dataframe like this:
>>> df = pd.DataFrame({
    'Date': [
        pd.to_datetime("2022-07-01"),
        pd.to_datetime("2020-07-02"),
        pd.to_datetime("2020-07-03"),
        ],
    "Price": [
        {24.9, 23.0, 22.5, 23.5},
        {24.9, 25.0, 26.5, 23.7},
        {25.2, 24.5, 23.6, 23.8},
  ]})
>>> df
        Date                     Price
0 2022-07-01  {24.9, 23.5, 22.5, 23.0}
1 2020-07-02  {24.9, 25.0, 26.5, 23.7}
2 2020-07-03  {24.5, 25.2, 23.8, 23.6}
I want to add a new column ‘intersec’ and get the intersection of the Price column and its shift value. But when I use
df['intersec'] = df.price[1:]&df.price.shift()[1:]
It doesn’t work, I get the following error:
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for &: 'set' and 'bool'
what should I do? My expected result is:
>>> df
       Date                     Price  intersec
0  2022/7/1  {24.9, 23.5, 22.5, 23.0}       NaN
1  2020/7/2  {24.9, 25.0, 26.5, 23.7}      24.9
2  2020/7/3  {24.5, 25.2, 23.8, 23.6}       NaN

Answer
shift the price
df["shifted_price"] = df.Price.shift()
find intersect
df["intersec"] = df[1:].apply(lambda x: list(set(x["Price"]) & set(x["shifted_price"])), axis=1)
sample output
        Date                     Price             shifted_price intersec
0 2022-07-01  {24.9, 23.5, 22.5, 23.0}                       NaN      NaN
1 2020-07-02  {24.9, 25.0, 26.5, 23.7}  {24.9, 23.5, 22.5, 23.0}   [24.9]
2 2020-07-03  {24.5, 25.2, 23.8, 23.6}  {24.9, 25.0, 26.5, 23.7}       []
