print(filtered_data)Filtering by Country and Valuation
To filter the data by country and valuation, we can use the query method of the DataFrame. Here's an example of how to filter the data for the countries United States, China, and Germany:
filtered_data = uc.query("Country in ['United States', 'China', 'Germany']") filtered_data
This will return a new DataFrame filtered_data that contains only the rows where the country is either United States, China, or Germany.
To further filter the data based on valuation, you can add another condition to the query:
filtered_data = uc.query("Country in ['United States', 'China', 'Germany'] and `Valuation ($B)` > 100") filtered_data
This will filter the data for the countries United States, China, and Germany, and also for companies with a valuation greater than 100 billion dollars.
