I have a dataframe: Outlet_results it goes something like this
index Calendar year/Week Material Sellthru Qty
0 37.2013 ABC 2
1 38.2913 ABC 7
2 37.2913 BCG 22
3 39.2013 XYZ 5
Now, I wanted a separate list for the Materials and week for further coding.
I used this code for the material list
mat_outlet = list(set(outlet_result['Material']))
It works perfectly and gives me 3 values (ABC, BCG, XYZ)
However, the week list shows a faulty output even though the code is same.
week_outlet_list = list(set(outlet_result['Calendar Year/Week']))
I am getting a list with 4 values ['38.2013', '37.2013', 'Calendar Year/Week', '39.2013']
Why is the string (header) included in the list? Please help me understand this concept.
I am using Python 2.7.... has it got something to do with it?
