Pandasdrill

Level 2: Cleaning Exercise 11 of 45 Pro

Drop rows missing a key field

A pandas exercise from Pandasdrill. Solve it with a Python editor in your browser running real pandas, and it is checked the moment you submit.

The task

Drop the contacts that have no email. Contacts without a phone number stay. Keep the original row labels.

What this exercise teaches

dropna() with no arguments drops a row if any column is missing, which would also remove contacts that only lack a phone. subset=["email"] checks just the email column.

A hint if you get stuck

dropna has a subset parameter that limits which columns are checked for missing values.
