Why am I getting value error when trying to convert it as float? There are no commas in the numbers.

vol
              volume
date    
2012-12-03  4.923456e+07
2012-12-04  5.518025e+08

2012-12-06  6.814400e+07

What do you try? to_numeric not working? – jezrael Aug 15 '20 at 08:49
like `vol['volume'] = pd.to_numeric(vol['volume'], errors='coerce')` ? – jezrael Aug 15 '20 at 08:49
vol.astype(float) – arv Aug 15 '20 at 08:50
I close again because it seems not check dupe answer, only reaction was `There are no commas in the numbers.` :( – jezrael Aug 15 '20 at 08:52
