Fill missing values.<\/p>\n<p>The <code>fillna<\/code> method in Pandas is used to fill missing values in a DataFrame. It can be used to fill missing values with a constant value, the mean of the column, or the median of the column. It can also be used to fill missing values with the value from another column.<\/p>\n<p>The <code>fillna<\/code> method takes two arguments: the value to fill in the missing values, and the axis to fill in the missing values. The axis can be either <code>0<\/code> for the rows or <code>1<\/code> for the columns.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the following code fills in the missing values in the <code>DataFrame<\/code> <code>df<\/code> with the value <code>0<\/code>:<\/p>\n<p><code>df = df.fillna(0)<\/code><\/p>\n<p>The following code fills in the missing values in the <code>DataFrame<\/code> <code>df<\/code> with the mean of the column <code>A<\/code>:<\/p>\n<p><code>df = df.fillna(df['A'].mean())<\/code><\/p>\n<p>The following code fills in the missing values in the <code>DataFrame<\/code> <code>df<\/code> with the value from the column <code>B<\/code>:<\/p>\n<p><code>df = df.fillna(df['B'])<\/code><\/p>\n<p>The <code>fillna<\/code> method is a very powerful tool that can be used to fill in missing values in a DataFrame. It is important to note that the <code>fillna<\/code> method does not change the original DataFrame. It creates a new DataFrame with the missing values filled in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Remove duplicates&#8221; option2=&#8221;Group data&#8221; option3=&#8221;Sort data&#8221;
