How to clear values from columns with the values “No” instead of NaN?












2















I have a dataset that I'm going through and I have No values in some slots instead of NaN so I couldn't use the dropna method. I believe that there is a specific way of looking for certain value in an entire dataset and performing operations on it but I don't know how that is done.



This is the csv I'm working with.

  • I don't see NaN values anywhere in your CSV file. Did you leave something out?

  • What library are you using to parse csv?

  • @Tim I think he’s talking about the dataframe which would contain NaN for all the empty cellss

You can replace No by nan and use dropna



import numpy as np

df = pd.DataFrame({'a':['Yes','No','No','Yes']})
df = df.replace('No',np.nan)
df.dropna()


Output:



    a
0 Yes
3 Yes
