How to get a value from the cell of a Pandas DataFrame?

To get a value from the cell of a DataFrame, we can use the index and col variables.

Steps

• Create a two-dimensional, size-mutable, potentially heterogeneous tabular data, df.

• Print the input DataFrame, df.

• Initialize the index variable.

• Initialize the col variable.

• Get the cell value corresponding to index and col variable.

• Print the cell value.

Example

 Live Demo

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame(
   {
      "x": [5, 2, 1, 9],
      "y": [4, 1, 5, 10],
      "z": [4, 1, 5, 0]
   }
)
print("Input DataFrame is:
", df)

index = 2
col = "y"
cell_val = df.iloc[index][col]
print "Cell value at ", index, "for column ", col, " : ", cell_val

index = 0
col = "x"
cell_val = df.iloc[index][col]
print "Cell value at ", index, "for column ", col, " : ", cell_val

index = 1
col = "z"
cell_val = df.iloc[index][col]
print "Cell value at ", index, "for column ", col, " : ", cell_val

Output

Input DataFrame is:
   x  y  z
0  5  4  4
1  2  1  1
2  1  5  5
3  9 10  0

Cell value at 2 for column y: 5
Cell value at 0 for column x: 5
Cell value at 1 for column z: 1
