Pandas Bar plot

Question

I have a data frame 'df'. I created a separate data frame 'df_top', displaying the cities with the highest total revenue from the original frame. I want to compare the 2 column values (Cities & Customer Status) from the new data frame (df_top) through a bar plot.

Data frame (new_df):

Customer ID Gender  Age Married Number of Dependents    City    Zip Code    Latitude    Longitude   Number of Referrals ... Payment Method  Monthly Charge  Total Charges   Total Refunds   Total Extra Data Charges    Total Long Distance Charges Total Revenue   Customer Status Churn Category  Churn Reason
31  0048-PIHNL  Female  48  Yes 0   Los Angeles 90058   34.001617   -118.222274 5   ... Bank Withdrawal 20.45   900.90  0.0 0   2429.42 3330.32 0   missing missing

My code:

# Relationship between top 5 'Cities' and 'Customer Status'

df_top = df[df["City"].isin(["Los Angeles", "San Diego", "Sacramento", "San Jose", "San Francisco"])]

df_top.plot.bar(x = 'City', y = 'Customer Status')

My bar plot:

Why is my bar plot displaying like this and how do I resolve this issue? Thanks.

Answer 1

df.plot(x="city", y=["customer status"], kind="bar")

I believe that in your dataset "customer status" column is of float data type. I simulate your problem in my machine and by above mention piece of code, I get the result.
