Counting NaN Rows in a Pandas DataFrame with 'Unnamed' Column
Here’s the step-by-step solution to this problem. The task is to count the number of rows in a pandas DataFrame that contain NaN values. The DataFrame has two columns ’named’ and ‘unnamed’. The ’named’ column contains non-NA values, while the ‘unnamed’ column contains NA values. To solve this task we will do as follows: We select all columns with the name starting with “unnamed”. We call these m. We groupby m by row and then apply a lambda function to each group.
