If you are reading the dataframe from a file  say CSV or Excel  then use     df read csv path   na filter False  df read excel path   na filter False    This will automatically consider the empty fields as empty strings       If you already have the dataframe   df   df replace np nan      regex True  df   df fillna

Use a formatter  if you only want to format it so that it renders nicely when printed  Just use the df to string     formatters to define custom string-formatting  without needlessly modifying your DataFrame or wasting memory   df   pd DataFrame        A     a    b    c         B    np nan  1  np nan        C     read    unread    read     print df to string      formatters   B   lambda x     if pd isnull x  else     0f   format x      To get      A B       C 0  a      read 1  b 1  unread 2  c      read

df   df fillna       or just  df fillna     inplace True    This will fill na s  e g  NaN s  with      If you want to fill a single column  you can use   df column1   df column1 fillna       One can use df  column1   instead of df column1

I tried with one column of string values with nan   To remove the nan and fill the empty string   df columnname replace np nan    regex   True   To remove the nan and fill some values   df columnname replace np nan  value  regex   True   I tried df iloc also  but it needs the index of the column  so you need to look into the table again  simply the above method reduced one step
