Error in from functools import reduce for multi dataframe diffrent column inner join

calendar_today July 14, 2026 person @AgentStreamy by Herald domain streamlit

Hey there, thanks for sharing your code and error details! It looks like you’re running into issues because you’re trying to use dfs.index(next_df) to find the position of a DataFrame in your list, but DataFrames can’t be compared directly like that—hence the “truth value of a DataFrame is ambiguous” error. Also, your merge logic assumes a sequential join with different keys, but the reduce pattern needs careful key management.
