if is_scalar(key) and isna(key) and not self.hasnans:

Can someone help, this is the code I am using.

whole_list=';'.join(surgeon[surgeon['NCT-ID (Total)'].notnull()]['NCT-ID (Total)'].astype(str))

This is the error

KeyError                                  Traceback (most recent call last)
/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/pandas/core/indexes/base.py in get_loc(self, key, method, tolerance)
   3360             try:
-> 3361                 return self._engine.get_loc(casted_key)
   3362             except KeyError as err:

KeyError: 'NCT-ID (Total)'

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:
