Error when using Pandas and indexing. why? I even asked Derek Banas and he wasn't sure why didn't work so please help Errors at bottom in 'quote format'
This my code:
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from pandas_datareader import data as web
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.dates as mdates
%matplotlib inline
import datetime as dt #For defining dates
import mplfinance as mpf # Matplotlib finance
import time
import yfinance as yf;
# Used to get data from a directory
import os
from os import listdir
from os.path import isfile, join
pd.set_option('display.max_columns', None)
pd.set_option('display.max_rows', 5);
#Statsmodels is a great library we can use to run regressions.
import statsmodels.api as sm
# Seaborn extends the capabilities of Matplotlib
import seaborn as sns
# Used for calculating regressions
from statsmodels.tsa.ar_model import AutoReg, ar_select_order
msft= yf.download(tickers='MSFT', period = '1mo',interval = '5m');
x = msft.index; close = msft.index['Adj Close'], high = msft['High']; low = msft['Low']; openprice=msft['Open'];
#print(x); print(high);
print(msft)
Error is:
x = msft.index; close = msft.index['Adj Close'];

I'm using Eclipse on windows. Why doesn't Python work when I index whatever's in the video? Appreciate it, I'm a lowly student and cannot figure why my copy-paste of the github repositry code won't work. I even asked Derek Banas and he wasn't sure why didn't work so please help
The problem is that msft.index is a an index not a column of your DataFrame. Whereas you are trying to access it as if it is a column (msft.index[<ColumnName>]).
It should be simply msft[<ColumnName>]. See below for details:
Run:
msft= yf.download(tickers='MSFT', period = '1mo',interval = '5m');
type(msft.index)
Output:
pandas.core.indexes.datetimes.DatetimeIndex
Run:
msft.head()
Output:
Open High Low Close Adj Close Volume

I'm guessing this error was the result of a copy/paste typo (because the video does not have it as you do with .index).
I would strongly echo the advise of @WesleyJonCheek : "One statement per line"
