我正在尝试在名称和最近的日期合并两个数据帧（WRT左手数据帧）。在我的研究中，我发现了一个类似的问题here，但它也没有考虑到这个名字。从上面的问题看来似乎没有办法用merge做这个，但我看不到另一种方法来做两个不使用pandas merge函数的参数连接。
有没有办法合并？如果不是这样做的合适方式是什么？
我会发布我尝试过的副本，但这是在日期上完全合并的尝试，这是行不通的。最重要的一行是我制作data3数据帧的最后一行。
data=pd.read_csv("edgar14Afacts.csv", parse_dates={"dater": [2]}, infer_datetime_format=True)
data2=pd.read_csv("sdcmergersdata.csv", parse_dates={"dater": [17]}, infer_datetime_format=True)
list(data2.columns.values)
data2.rename(columns=lambda x: x.replace('\r\n', ''), inplace=True)
data2.rename(columns=lambda x: x.replace('\n', ''), inplace=True)
data2.rename(columns=lambda x: x.replace('\r', ''), inplace=True)
data2=data2.rename(columns = {'Acquiror Name':'name'})
data2=data2.rename(columns = {'dater':'date'})
data=data.rename(columns = {'dater':'date'})
list(data2.columns.values)
data["name"]=data['name'].map(str.lower)
data2["name"]=data2['name'].map(str.lower)
data2['date'].fillna(method='pad')
data['namer1']=data['name']
data['dater1']=data['date']
data2['namer2']=data2['name']
data2['dater2']=data2['date']
print data.head()
print data2.head()
data['name'] = data['name'].map(lambda x: str(x)[:4])
data2['name'] = data2['name'].map(lambda x: str(x)[:4])
data3 = pd.merge(data, data2, how='left', on=['date','name'])
data3.to_csv("check.csv")

我也很乐意看到你提出的最终解决方案，以了解它最终是如何被淘汰的。
要找到最接近的日期，您可以做的一件事就是计算第一个DataFrame中每个日期与第二个DataFrame中的日期之间的天数。然后，您可以使用np.argmin检索时间增量最小的日期。
例如：
