Perform a merge by key distance.
This is similar to a left-join except that we match on nearest key rather than equal keys. Both DataFrames must be sorted by the key.
For each row in the left DataFrame:
A âbackwardâ search selects the last row in the right DataFrame whose âonâ key is less than or equal to the leftâs key.
A âforwardâ search selects the first row in the right DataFrame whose âonâ key is greater than or equal to the leftâs key.
A ânearestâ search selects the row in the right DataFrame whose âonâ key is closest in absolute distance to the leftâs key.
Optionally match on equivalent keys with âbyâ before searching with âonâ.
Field name to join on. Must be found in both DataFrames. The data MUST be ordered. Furthermore this must be a numeric column, such as datetimelike, integer, or float. On or left_on/right_on must be given.
Field name to join on in left DataFrame.
Field name to join on in right DataFrame.
Use the index of the left DataFrame as the join key.
Use the index of the right DataFrame as the join key.
Match on these columns before performing merge operation.
Field names to match on in the left DataFrame.
Field names to match on in the right DataFrame.
Suffix to apply to overlapping column names in the left and right side, respectively.
Select asof tolerance within this range; must be compatible with the merge index.
If True, allow matching with the same âonâ value (i.e. less-than-or-equal-to / greater-than-or-equal-to)
If False, donât match the same âonâ value (i.e., strictly less-than / strictly greater-than).
Whether to search for prior, subsequent, or closest matches.

Examples
>>> left = pd.DataFrame({"a": [1, 5, 10], "left_val": ["a", "b", "c"]}) >>> left a left_val 0 1 a 1 5 b 2 10 c
>>> right = pd.DataFrame({"a": [1, 2, 3, 6, 7], "right_val": [1, 2, 3, 6, 7]}) >>> right a right_val 0 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 6 6 4 7 7
>>> pd.merge_asof(left, right, on="a") a left_val right_val 0 1 a 1 1 5 b 3 2 10 c 7
>>> pd.merge_asof(left, right, on="a", allow_exact_matches=False) a left_val right_val 0 1 a NaN 1 5 b 3.0 2 10 c 7.0
>>> pd.merge_asof(left, right, on="a", direction="forward") a left_val right_val 0 1 a 1.0 1 5 b 6.0 2 10 c NaN
>>> pd.merge_asof(left, right, on="a", direction="nearest") a left_val right_val 0 1 a 1 1 5 b 6 2 10 c 7
We can use indexed DataFrames as well.
>>> left = pd.DataFrame({"left_val": ["a", "b", "c"]}, index=[1, 5, 10]) >>> left left_val 1 a 5 b 10 c
>>> right = pd.DataFrame({"right_val": [1, 2, 3, 6, 7]}, index=[1, 2, 3, 6, 7]) >>> right right_val 1 1 2 2 3 3 6 6 7 7
>>> pd.merge_asof(left, right, left_index=True, right_index=True) left_val right_val 1 a 1 5 b 3 10 c 7
