Attribute error: AxesSubplot' object has no attribute 'savefig'

Tell us what’s happening:
I got an error message on the Time series challenge. Could anyone kindly advise? Thanks

Traceback (most recent call last):

My code is as below

fig= g

Hi… So g currently is an AxesSubplot object. The figure you need to assign as fig (the object with the .savefig method and the object you need to return) can be accessed with g.figure

Replace that line with fig = g.figure and that’s fixed!

I ran the tests with your draw_bar_plot() function… The months need to be in the right order too…

Hope that helped!
