I am trying to rank some values in one column over a rolling period of N days instead of having the ranking done over the entire set. I have seen several methods here using rolling_apply but I have read that this is no longer in python. For example, in the following table; | | A | |:-------|:-----| |01-01-2013| 100| |02-01-2013| 85 | |03-01-2013| 110| |04-01-2013| 60| |05-01-2013| 20| |06-01-2013| 40|
For the column A above, how can I have the rank as below for N = 3;
| A | Ranked_A | |
|---|---|---|
| 01-01-2013 | 100 | NaN | 
| 02-01-2013 | 85 | Nan | 
| 03-01-2013 | 110 | 1 | 
| 04-01-2013 | 60 | 3 | 
| 05-01-2013 | 20 | 3 | 
| 06-01-2013 | 40 | 2 |
