Vlookup using python when data given in range

I have two excel files, I want to perform vlookup and find difference of costs using python or even excel.

My files look like this

source_data.xlsx contains contains distance covered and their price, example distance range from 1 to 100 should be charged 4800 and distance range from 101 to 120 should be charged 5100.

DISTANCE     COST

1-100        4800

101-120      5100

121-140      5500

141-160      5900

161-180      6200

181-200      6600

210-220      6900

221-240      7200

Analysis.xlsx

Actual Cost for distance is given in source_data.xlsx, I want to check cost in Analysis.xlsx if it correspond to Actual value, I want to detect underpayment and overpayment.

Desired Output should be like this, with two column added, source_cost which is taken from source_xlsx by using vlookup and difference which is difference between total_cost and source_cost

loading_station distance_travel total_cost  status  source_cost Difference

My code so far

# import pandas
import pandas as pd

# read excel data
source_data = pd.read_excel('source_data.xlsx')
analysis_file = pd.read_excel('analysis.xlsx')
source_data.head(5)
analysis_file.head(5)

Answer

Since it is a categorical bins problem, I suggest utilizing cut() and find the corresponding value.

import pandas as pd
# create bins
bh = df_source['DISTANCE'].apply(lambda x: x.split('-')).apply(pd.Series).astype(int).values[:,0]
bt = df_source['DISTANCE'].apply(lambda x: x.split('-')).apply(pd.Series).astype(int).values[:,1]
bins = pd.IntervalIndex.from_arrays(bh, bt, closed='both')

print(bins)
###
IntervalIndex([[1, 100], [101, 120], [121, 140], [141, 160], [161, 180], [181, 200], [210, 220], [221, 240]], dtype='interval[int64, both]')

As it shown, IntervalIndex, dtype='interval[int64, both]'


# find corresponding values
df_analysis['source_cost'] = pd.cut(df_analysis['distance_travel'], bins=bins).map(dict(zip(bins, df_source['COST']))).astype(int)

# calculation
df_analysis['Difference'] = df_analysis['total_cost'] - df_analysis['source_cost']

print(df_analysis)
###
