polars.Expr.unique_counts

Expr.unique_counts() → Self

Return a count of the unique values in the order of appearance.

This method differs from value_counts in that it does not return the values, only the counts and might be faster

Examples

>>> df = pl.DataFrame(
...     {
...         "id": ["a", "b", "b", "c", "c", "c"],
...     }
... )
>>> df.select(
...     [
...         pl.col("id").unique_counts(),
...     ]
... )
