Pandas is a Python library used to clean, analyze, and explore data.

It helps you work with tables of data (like Excel spreadsheets) using simple code.

With Pandas, you can:

Load datasets (CSV, Excel, SQL, etc.)

Fix messy data, Filter, and sort rows.

Calculate totals, averages, and statistics.

Merge multiple datasets.

Prepare data for dashboards or machine learning.

It’s one of the most important tools for data analysts because it makes working with data faster, easier, and more powerful than Excel.

1. Open your Jupyter Notebook.

2. At the top of the notebook, click the first empty cell.

3. Make sure the cell type says Code (not Markdown or Text).
