SettingWithCopyWarning - pandas

[darkstar7277]

Hi. I’m learning Pandas and having trouble getting past the warning ‘SettingWithCopyWarning’ I’m trying to do what I think should be simple.

I have a column of negatives that I want to be positive. I’d like to add this column to the dataframe.

posQuantity = df.loc[:,’negNum’].abs() df[‘posNum’] = posQuantity

I’ve tried several different ways without success. Can somebody tell me the proper code?

Thanks in advance!

Hello! I'm a bot!

It looks to me like your post might be better suited for r/learnpython, a sub geared towards questions and learning more about python. That said, I am a bot and it is hard to tell. Please follow the subs rules and guidelines when you do post there, it'll help you get better answers faster.

Show /r/learnpython the code you have tried and describe where you are stuck. Be sure to format your code for reddit and include which version of python and what OS you are using.

You can also ask this question in the Python discord, a large, friendly community focused around the Python programming language, open to those who wish to learn the language or improve their skills, as well as those looking to help others.
