pythonpandasdataframe

drop.na code doesn't show up when using print(data_frame)

I wanna delete missing values from a certain column:

#deleting rows with missing values
data_excel.dropna(subset=['Budget Betrag'])

then I wanna check whether it's working with

print(data_excel)

But with print(data_excel) the drop.na code doesn't show up.

I just see the changes when i use print(data_excel.dropna(subset=['Budget Betrag']))

What am I doing wrong? I also deleted columns before and i could use the print(data_excel) properly.

Solution

  • Do this:

    data_excel = data_excel.dropna(subset=['Budget Betrag'])
print(data_excel)

    otherwise the .dropna() isn't stored on your dataframe.
