So, say I have an army of Salvation-Army-style bell-ringing Santas who are collecting money on the streets in the days leading up to Xmas. My data looks like:
Day AM/PM Santa Donors Revenue
12/22/2012 AM Candi 92 $762.56
12/22/2012 AM Bronson 3 $13.06
12/22/2012 PM Candi 41 $68.97
12/23/2012 AM Aloysius 45 $905.53
12/21/2012 PM Aloysius 89 $704.80
12/24/2012 PM Aloysius 64 $227.87
12/23/2012 AM Candi 54 $223.57
12/23/2012 AM Bronson 36 $212.99
...etc.
What's the pandas code to make an equivalent pivot_table to this? (Note 1. the summing of the "AM/PM" field 2. the calculated field "Avg. Donation" and 3. the subtotals.)
(Is it possible I want to use something besides pivot_table?)
