Error in location_data.sort_values ()

Question

Hello,

When I type the code above, I get the error below. I tried re-starting the kernel and writing the code in a different document, but the outcome is always the same. Many thanks for your assistance.

Hi Vania!

Thanks for reaching out!

The error you obtain here is related to the previous inquiry you've had about a similar problem - the location_data variable contains a DataFrame and not a Series object. If you apply the .sort_values() method requires you to specify which column from the DataFrame you are trying to sort.

The reason why you obtain a DataFrame and not a Series as it is in the lesson is because you didn't apply the squeeze parameter.

When squeeze=True is used, the output is returned as a Series object instead of a DataFrame.

I believe this finding will resolve the other issue you asked about.

Hope this helps.

Best,

Ivan

Answer 2

Hi Ivan,

Thanks for replying. As regards the 'squeeze' parameter, it wasn't working. Someone in the Q&A in that lesson was having the same problem. So I replicated the code data.squeeze ("columns") that you offered as a solution for that particular question.

Here's the screenschot below:
