import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

df = pd.DataFrame({'month':['jan','feb'], 'val':[1.3,2.4]})
df.plot(kind='bar', x='month', y='val')
plt.show()

As of now this displays a graph correctly, but how can I get the exact numerical value displayed somewhere above or on each bar? I've tried referencing this but it doesn't seem to work for dataframes.

You just need to adapt your link:

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

df = pd.DataFrame({'month':['jan','feb'], 'val':[1.3,2.4]})
df.plot(kind='bar', x='month', y='val')
for index, value in enumerate(list(df["val"])):
    plt.text(index, value, str(value))
plt.show()

Output:

Let's try
  • 970
  • 7
  • 19
  • ah, i did that exactly but kept trying to jam in `plt.barh(list(df['month']), list(df['val']))` before the loop. thanks! – stackoverflow Sep 15 '20 at 16:10
  • if you run the code on `df = pd.DataFrame({'month':['jan','feb','mar','apr','may'], 'val':[1,2,1,2,1]})` does it display correctly as well? For me the values are all scattered and don't show correctly. https://imgur.com/a/zCMI9MP – stackoverflow Sep 15 '20 at 16:15

    I just copy-pasted your df into the code and its working – Let's try Sep 15 '20 at 16:29
