Can't convert object data type to float in pandas data frame
the data you're trying to convert includes an item : "Variable by base style" which obviously cannot be changed to a float.
reading an excel file in python jupyter notebook i'm trying to change a column datatype of a pandas dataframe from object to float and every try I get the message of ValueError: could not convert string to float: 'Variable by base style'. What does 'Variable by base style' mean?
