Remove rows in python less than a certain value

I feel like this question must have been answered by someone before, but I can't find an answer on stack overflow!

I have a dataframe result that looks like this and I want to remove all the values less than or equal to 10

>>> result
                       Name              Value      Date
189                   Sall                19.0  11/14/15
191                     Sam               10.0  11/14/15
192                 Richard               21.0  11/14/15
193                  Ingrid                4.0  11/14/15

This command works and removes all the values that are 10:

df2 = result[result['Value'] != 10]

But when I try to add the <= qualifier I get the error message SyntaxError: invalid syntax

df3 = result[result['Value'] ! <= 10]

I feel like there is probably a really simple solution.

Solution

  • Instead of this

    df3 = result[result['Value'] ! <= 10]

    Use

    df3 = result[~(result['Value'] <= 10)]

    It will work. OR simply use

    df3 = result[result['Value'] > 10]
