How can I multiple my string values by an integer for a word cloud?-CodePudding

I am trying to make a word cloud from my dataframe, below

    Borough     Minor Text            2019
    Bexley   Arson                    4           
    Bexley   Burglary - Business      11
    Bexley   Burglary - Residential   130
    Bexley   Drug Trafficking         5

I want to visualise the most frequent items in the Minor Text column in a wordcloud but the problem is, the frequency is in the '2019' column as an integer. The actual dataframe is quite large but follows the same format as above. Can anyone suggest how I can transform my 'Minor Text' column so that I can accurate create a word cloud?

Thanks

I don't know the visualization criteria. For example PowerBI's wordcloud does not accept an integer value to control the size of the word, but it bases it on how many items it is repetead. Therefore, the way I deal with it is by transforming the text into a list and then multiplying it by the integer (hence repeating the text the number of times the integer says) and then PowerBI sees row 3 is repetead 130 times while row 4 only 5 times, making row 3's text 26 times larger than row 4's text.

Having explained this, this is the line of code I use:

df['Visual text'] = df['Minor Text'].map(lambda x: [x]) * df['2019']
