pandas.Series.notna

Series.notna(self) [source]

Detect existing (non-missing) values.

Return a boolean same-sized object indicating if the values are not NA. Non-missing values get mapped to True. Characters such as empty strings '' or numpy.inf are not considered NA values (unless you set pandas.options.mode.use_inf_as_na = True). NA values, such as None or numpy.NaN, get mapped to False values.

Returns:	Series Mask of bool values for each element in Series that indicates whether an element is not an NA value.

Examples

Show which entries in a DataFrame are not NA.

>>> df = pd.DataFrame({'age': [5, 6, np.NaN],
...                    'born': [pd.NaT, pd.Timestamp('1939-05-27'),
...                             pd.Timestamp('1940-04-25')],
...                    'name': ['Alfred', 'Batman', ''],
...                    'toy': [None, 'Batmobile', 'Joker']})
>>> df
   age       born    name        toy
0  5.0        NaT  Alfred       None
1  6.0 1939-05-27  Batman  Batmobile
2  NaN 1940-04-25              Joker
