dataframe' object has no attribute 'get

Dataframe allows you to manipulate any datasets by converting them into dataframe. You can add, remove, modify column values using the inbuilt function provided by panda’s library. The get_value() is one of them. If you are getting AttributeError: dataframe’ object has no attribute ‘get_value’ error then in this post you will learn how to solve this issue.

What does the get_value() function do?

Pandas provide a get_value() function that allows you to get the value of a specific column at a specific index. For example, if you have dataframe with 100 records and want to get the value of column 3 at index 10 then you will use the _get_value(10, “column3).

What cause AttributeError: dataframe’ object has no attribute ‘get_value’?

The root cause for getting this error is that you are using the get_value() function in the wrong way. Most of the developers use it using the get_value() function.

You will get the dataframe’ object has no attribute ‘get_value’ error when you will run the below lines of code.

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
np.random.seed(0)
df = pd.DataFrame({'col1': list('pqrstuv'), 'col2': np.random.choice(10, 7),
                   'col3':["01-01-2022","02-01-2022","03-01-2022","04-01-2022",
                           "05-01-2022","06-01-2022","07-01-2022"]})

df.get_value(1,"col1")

Output

dataframe' object has no attribute 'get_value' error — dataframe’ object has no attribute ‘get_value’ error

Here I want to get the value of col3 at index 1 but the python interpreter is showing AttributeError. In the next section, you will learn how to solve this error.

Solve dataframe’ object has no attribute ‘get_value’

Solving this AttributeError is very simple. You have to use the function properly. You can see in the above code you are using the df.get_value() method. But you don’t have to use it. Instead, you have to use _get_value(). Just put an underscore in the prefix of the get_value() function.

Now you will not get the error when you will run the below lines of code.

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
np.random.seed(0)
df = pd.DataFrame({'col1': list('pqrstuv'), 'col2': np.random.choice(10, 7),
                   'col3':["01-01-2022","02-01-2022","03-01-2022","04-01-2022",
                           "05-01-2022","06-01-2022","07-01-2022"]})

df._get_value(1,"col1")

Output

Conclusion

The DataFrame. _get_value() function returns the value of the specific column at a particular index. If you are getting the get_value() AttributeError then the above methods will solve it.
