How do you plot a bar graph for given values in a row rather than the number there are in the whole dataframe?

Question

I just need a bar graph showing the

Name

along the x-axis, and for the bars to match up with their

Number

along the y-axis

series = pd.Series(np.arange(5))

df = pd.DataFrame(['Mel','James','Bob','Frank','Julia'], columns=['Name'])

df['Number'] = series



    Name    Number

0   Mel     5

1   James   6

2   Bob     7

3   Frank   8

4   Julia   9

Answer 1

Try setting the index

df.set_index('Name').plot.bar()
