AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'latitude'-CodePudding

I am trying to add a new column "Coordinates" to the csv file with the use of pandas library.

I am trying to include only the latitudes in this column using lambda. But I am getting the error. If there are any other alternatives except the lambda to do it, please mention them too. Thank You

Here is my code:

df10["Points"] = df10["Address"].apply(lambda x: x.latitude)

Here is the error:

CodePudding user response：

Check for type in column Address, also u can have nulls in the column.

CodePudding user response：

It looks like your address is a string rather than an object with a latitude property. Trying printing x and see for yourself.
