The AttributeError: ‘DataFrame’ object has no attribute ‘split’ error occurs in Python when you try to use the ‘split’ method on a Pandas DataFrame object that does not exist.
To fix the error, you can use the “str.split()” method.
The main reason for this error is that the “split()” method is not defined for DataFrames. It is a method is a string method, and it is used to split a string into a list of substrings. DataFrames are not strings, so they do not have the split() method.
Flow diagram
Reproduce the error
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({'a': ['hello world', 'this is a test'], 'b': [1, 2]})
print(df.split(' '))
Output
How to fix it?
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({'a': ['hello world', 'this is a test'], 'b': [1, 2]})
# Apply the split method to the 'a' column
split_values = df['a'].str.split(' ')
print(split_values)
Output
0 [hello, world]
1 [this, is, a, test]
Name: a, dtype: object
That’s it!
