So currently, I ask the user for the column name input and the row input but I don't know how to get the cell value. 

import pandas as pd 

data_column = input("what column do you want to choose")
print(data_column)
data_row = input("What row do you want to choose")
print(data_row)

I have tried with iloc and loc but it doesn't return the cell value.

    Can you post your code? – SKPS Jan 21 '20 at 00:40

  • _I have tried with iloc and loc but it doesn't return the cell value._ That's too vague. This seems like an extremely basic question, have you actually done any research? – AMC Jan 21 '20 at 02:12

You should be able to get the value of a specific cell by using 

data_table.iloc[data_row, data_column]

Remember that 

input("x")

returns a string, so you'd have to cast it into an int if you want to use the variable directly.

data_column = int(input("what column do you want to choose"))
