I have a large data frame of at least 500 rows and 60 columns. Let's call this df1
. Some cells have NaN
in them, which I've typically used
df2 = df1.fillna(value = 0.0)
in order to replace them in just one line of code.
But this is with much, much smaller dataframes, where it worked in the past, and I would like to implement the same step on larger volumes of data in the future. Using the above command goes above my recursion limit. I've also tried to increase the recursion limit, and my program would crash as a result.
My initial recursion limit is:
sys.getrecursionlimit()
1000
Then increasing it with
sys.setrecursionlimit(10000)
and running fillna()
afterwards makes my program crash.
In order to work around recursion and rather make this command work iteratively, I created this loop:
for index, row in sdd_root_excel.iterrows():
if(pd.isnull(row[index])):
sdd_root_excel.iloc[index].fillna(0)
But I get an error message that to my interpretation looks like it's telling me that an index (which is 711?) is out of bounds, and it's also interpreted as a KeyError:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Do I need to fix my loop or try something else?
