Grouping by multiple columns with window functions

Taking the analysis further, you want to break down bike demand by both time of day and weather. Warm sunny hours likely behave differently from cool cloudy ones. Create a simple weather category, then calculate total rentals for each hour-weather combination.

polars is loaded as pl. The DataFrame bikes is available with columns time, rentals, temp, and hour.

Hands-on interactive exercise

Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.

# Add weather category based on temperature
bikes.with_columns(
    pl.when(pl.col("temp") > 20)
    .then(pl.lit("____"))
    .otherwise(pl.lit("____"))
    .alias("weather")
).with_columns(

    # Calculate total rentals by hour and weather
    pl.col("rentals").____().over("____", "____").alias("total_by_hour_weather")
)
