Get the first cell from last row pandas dataframe

Question

I was able to get the last row of a DataFrame in pandas with this line

df.tail(1)

How do I get the first column's cell in this row? - I tried

df.tail(1)[0,0]

and it did not work

Use this solution :

df.iloc[-1,0]

thank you!) the index cannot be applied to the dataframe generated by the tail() ? – Dave Jan 23 '21 at 08:35
@Dave you can do same with tail() output but it has extra overhead. Also the code will not be so clean. – Behzad Shayegh Jan 23 '21 at 12:36
