ValueError: A given column is not a column of the dataframe
This error occurs when you try to access or perform an operation on a column in a DataFrame that doesn’t exist.
Here’s an example to better understand this error:
import pandas as pd
# Create a DataFrame
df = pd.DataFrame({'A': [1, 2, 3], 'B': [4, 5, 6]})
# Try to access a non-existing column
df['C'] # This will raise a ValueError
# Output:
# ValueError: A given column is not a column of the dataframe
In the above example, we created a DataFrame with columns ‘A’ and ‘B’. However, when we tried to access column ‘C’, it raised a ValueError because ‘C’ is not a column in the DataFrame.
To avoid this error, make sure you are accessing the correct column name from the DataFrame. Double-check the column names and verify their existence before accessing or performing any operations on them.
