I really recommend matplotlib module for that. However, if you don't have one: https://code.sololearn.com/cV6FMS7VmVPl/?ref=app (below find a code I made once for a similar inquiry ;)

Try this: import matplotlib.pyplit as plt import pandas as pd data = pd.read_csv(your_filename_here, dtype=your_datatypes_here) # here you have read the data as proper datatypes, so that the data is of any numeric format # draw the histogram plt.figure(figsize=(10, 8)) plt.hist(data) plt.show() If you have any problems, please save your code here and publish it, so we can see and may help you.

Oh, I see it's a Python2 syntax, not Python3. Make sure your implementation is a proper one. When using read_csv, add a parameter dtype={'profit': np.float32, 'invest': np.float32} Perhaps it is read as strings and that's why histplot doesn't work. Also, for a dataset summary, you might want to try the .describe() method. It's very informative and it's just one line to add :) print(df.describe())
