getting an error while working on Pandas-profiling on Jupyter

Question

As I was practicing my visualization skills, I came across an article ,

https://towardsdatascience.com/complete-guide-to-data-visualization-with-python-2dd74df12b5e.

In this, the person has used pandas-profiling method, which was new to me I tried using it for my dataset but got an unexpected error.

Here is the code :

    import pandas_profiling
    from pandas_profiling import ProfileReport
    prof = ProfileReport(temp)
    prof.to_file(output_file='report.html')

but getting this error:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

I don't know what is mpl.style, as there was nothing in this location when checked.

Answer 1

Use ydata-profiling instead of pandas-profiling as pandas-profiling is deprecated.

steps:

1. pip install ydata-profiling

2. import ydata_profiling as yp

import pandas as pd
from ydata_profiling import ProfileReport

df = pd.read_csv('data.csv')
profile = ProfileReport(df, title="Profiling Report")

Answer 2

Do the following steps:

1. pip uninstall pandas-profiling
2. pip install pandas-profiling[notebook]
3. pip show pandas-profiling

Answer 3

I was getting the same error the. Here is what I did to solve it.

Note: I was using Anaconda

• Uninstall the old pandas_profiling
• Install the latest version using conda install -c conda-forge pandas-profiling=2.6.0

Important: Don't forget to restart the kernal

Answer 4

Run below commands on jupyter Notebook

!pip uninstall -y pandas-profiling

then

pip install pandas-profiling

Now restart Kernel in jupyter notebook and try running your code.
