`"df_cat"` is a string, you want `df_cat`.

The formatting of your post is hella weird - how about you just include a link to your replit?

As for the failures, it’d be nice to know the error-messages.

For the catplot, you need to add a line `fig=fig.fig` before saving - as the test is not designed for standard object sns is returning.

As for the heatmap - without error message no idea what might be wrong.

Am sorry for my formatting errors Jagaya, am new to this . I also have trouble successfuly posting questions on stack overflow due to my poor formatting skills. You can put me through if possible.

Yeah formatting can be tricky.

Anyway, the error messages are very helpful.  
First please look at the project files, you are actually provided with example-files which show you how an solution can look like - this way you can compare to your images and spot differences.

Your barchart is having more bars than it should have - please read the task again and look at your image, which bars shouldn’t be there (it looks like you didn’t normalize the data).

Your heatmap is lacking annotations. Please refer to the seaborn documentation about heatmaps and it should tell you, how to add those.

Thank you so much, i have handled the issue of normalizing the data. But what i cant figure out now is the heatmap and the annotations stuff…please any more hint.

Looking at your heatmap and the provided example - your “overweight” column is broken. I think the way you clean it would turn ALL entries to 0.

And you are calculating the wrong quantiles.  
If 0.025 represents 2.5%, then 0.0975 cannot be 97.5%

honestly speaking, i dont know what else to do. I have corrected the percentile to 0.975.  
This is the way i cleaned the overweight column:

```auto
df.loc[df["overweight"]>25, "overweight"]=1

df.loc[df["overweight"]<=25, "overweight"]=0

```

But i dont know what else to do.

The problem is, you turn all values above 25 to 1. Then you turn all values below 25 (which includes 1) to 0 → so you’ve turned all values to 0.

There are a couple of other options. You can create a temporary column, use df as reference for df\_heat, use a couple of transformer-methods (.map, .apply, maybe more) or just think about how to write those two statements so they don’t interfere with eachother.

Thanks so much Jagaya. I used the lambda funtion, and it solved the problem. Am so grateful.

I’ve edited your post for readability. When you enter a code block into a forum post, please precede it with a separate line of three backticks and follow it with a separate line of three backticks to make it easier to read.

You can also use the “preformatted text” tool in the editor (`</>`) to add backticks around text.

 ![Pre-formatted-text](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/freecodecamp/original/3X/1/b/1b18854f1059217f29370444396145cc3a0cd8ae.gif)

See [this post](https://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/forum-code-formatting/25574) to find the backtick on your keyboard.  
**Note:** Backticks (`) are not single quotes (’).

Thank you so much, I think I have learnt how to properly insert backticks(```).

Good to hear and well done 😉  
As I said, there are several other options and once you work with larger datasets, it’s worth exploring them, as some are significantly faster than others. But there is always more to learn, so don’t forget to celebrate your achievements inbetween.
