PandasdrillPivot table with a fill value
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
Build a table of total revenue with one row per region and one column per quarter. Combinations with no sales should show 0, not NaN.
What this exercise teaches
pivot_table groups by the index and columns keys and aggregates the values. Its default aggfunc is mean, so you must ask for sum, and fill_value replaces the empty combinations, such as a region with no first quarter sales.
A hint if you get stuck
pivot_table averages by default. Set aggfunc="sum" and fill_value=0.
