KeyError: -1 from trying to combine two appended dfs-CodePudding

I am trying to combine two appended CSV files but I keep getting in return a KeyError: -1. I'm not sure why as I have been following a coding tutorial and for him, it works perfectly fine. The two different csv file groups have different formats and so this code will remove the 2 empty columns from one of the formats.

import glob
import os
import pandas as pd

appended_data = []

for f in glob.glob ('C:\\Users\\dylan\\PycharmProjects\\TradeBox\\raw\\*.csv'):
    df = pd.read_csv(f, header = None)
    appended_data.append(df)

df = pd.concat(appended_data)

df.rename(columns={0: "volume",
                   1: "weighted volume",
                   2: "open",
                   3: "close",
                   4: "high",
                   5: "low",
                   6: "timestamp",
                   7: "transactions",
                   8: "date"},
          inplace=True)

appended_data_new = []

for f in glob.glob ('C:\\Users\\dylan\\PycharmProjects\\TradeBox\\*.csv'):
    df_new = pd.read_csv(f, header = None)
    appended_data_new.append(df_new)

df_new = pd.concat(appended_data_new)
df_new.dropna(axis=1, inplace = True)

df_new.rename(columns={0: "volume",
                    1: "weighted volume",
                    2: "open",
                    3: "close",
                    4: "high",
                    5: "low",
                    6: "timestamp",
                    7: "transactions",
                    10: "date"},
          inplace=True)

df_final = pd.concat([df, df_new])

path = 'C:\\Users\\dylan\\PycharmProjects\\TradeBox\\check point\\'
path = path   'cp1-'  df_final.iloc[-1][-1][0:10]  '.csv'

df_final.to_csv(path, header=True, index=None)

The following traceback error occurs:

CodePudding user response：

The indexing into your data frame elements to make the file name is causing the error. In this line:

path = path   'cp1-'  df_final.iloc[-1][-1][0:10]  '.csv'

To get the last date from your data frame using iloc, you need to put both the row index and the column index inside the brackets.

df_final.iloc[-1, -1]
