How to drop rows of Pandas DataFrame whose value in a certain column is NaN

I have a large dataframe with a column populated by Nan and integers.
I identified the rows that are NOT empty (i.e. return False for notnull()):
df.loc[df.score.notnull()]
How do I remove these rows and keep the rows with missing values?
This code doesn't work:
df.drop(df.score.notnull()]

Assuming you wanted in the same dataframe you could use:
df = df[df.score.isnull()]

You could use df.loc[df.score.isnull()] or df.loc[~df.score.notnull()].

I have a dataframe with multiple columns. I know to change the value based on condition for one specific column. But how can I change the value based on condition over all columns for the whole dataframe? I want to replace // with 1
col1;col2;col3;col4;
23;54;12;//;
54;//;2;//;
8;2;//;1;
Let's try
df = df.replace('//', 1)
# or
df = df.mask(df.eq('//'), 1)

Spilt your problem into smaller ones:
How to select the data? 1-30, 40-100
dataframe.iloc[0:30]
dataframe.iloc[30:100]
How to replace NaN?
dataframe.fillna('dog')
You can use fillna with a subset of your dataset (df):
df.loc[1:30, :].fillna('dog', inplace=True)
df.loc[40:100, :].fillna('cat', inplace=True)

I used dropna() on Python but it didn't deleted any rows [duplicate]

My DataFrame has two columns, both of which have NaN values. I need to delete the rows with NaN just on the column user_email.
However, I used df['user_email'] = df['user_email'].dropna() but it returned the exact same DataFrame, with all the NaN values on the second column intact.
How can I delete the rows with NaN on the second column?
You may need inplace=True:
df.dropna(subset=['user_email'], inplace=True)
You can use the subset keyword argument.
df = df.dropna(subset=['user_email'])
You could use boolean indexing. This allows you to select rows based on a conditional statement (e.g., df.user_email.notna())
df = df[df.user_email.notna()]

I have a dataframe called CentroidXY and I want to find the indexes of the rows in the column called 'X' that corresponds to numeric values (not NaN). I tried:
foo = CentroidXY.index[CentroidXY['X'] == int].tolist()
However this gives me back no indexes, although my column contains numeric values. Does anyone have any idea on how to do this?
You could use:
CentroidXY.index[CentroidXY['X'].notna()]

I have a DataFrame "df" with three columns named: "Particle", "Frequency1", "Frequency2" and a lot of rows.
I want to delete the rows where Frequency1 and Frequency2 are simoustaneously equal to 0.
What is the sintax for doing this?
You can also use: df = (df[df.Frequency1 == 0] & df[df.Frequency2 == 0]).
This will delete the row which has 0 in both columns of 'Frequency1andFrequency2`.
