Plotting two dataframes into one bar chart, distinguish their values
I am confusing myself with the following task and I hope someone can point me to the right direction. I have two datasets, one with data from January 2019 and another one with data from January 2020.
df1
ID Date
5177 2019-01-31
5178 2019-01-31
5179 2019-01-31
5180 2019-01-31
5181 2019-01-31
5182 2019-01-31
5183 2019-01-31
5184 2019-01-30
5185 2019-01-30
5186 2019-01-30
df2
ID Date
2918 2020-01-31
2919 2020-01-31
2920 2020-01-31
2921 2020-01-31
2922 2020-01-31
2923 2020-01-31
2924 2020-01-31
2925 2020-01-31
2926 2020-01-30
2927 2020-01-30
I tried to plot them as line charts as follows:
df1.groupby('Date').size().plot()
df2.groupby('Date').size().plot()
plt.xticks(rotation=90)
plt.show()
but the output is not good as the results as shown in two different areas of the chart (one is 2019 and another one is 2020). So what I have been trying to do is to plot these data as bar charts, putting bars close to each other I order to easily compare the frequency of data day by day through months.
I have tried as follows:
df1.groupby(['Date'])['Date'].size().plot(kind='bar')
df2.groupby(['Date'])['Date'].size().plot(kind='bar')
but this does not distinguish between values from df1 and values from df2 (also, bars are in the same colour).
What I would like to have is a chart with on the x-axis the date (only days, as months are the same and I know which year I am comparing). With different colour, I would need to plot data from 1 and data from 2 (the legend will tell which df1/2 is).
Can you please tell me how to plot data to get the expected output?
Thanks
