title: Could not convert string to float error.
body: <p>I would like to plot values onto the X and Y axis'. I do not want to put any data in the graph, just label the Axis' with <strong>Time</strong> and <strong>DID</strong>(As seen below)</p>
  
  <p>Here is my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import pandas as pd 
  import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
  from matplotlib import style 
  style.use('ggplot')
  
  
  df = pd.read_csv('Test_Sheet_1.csv')
  
  Time = df.ix[8:, 1]
  
  DID = df.ix[1, 6:13]
  
  
  ax1 = plt.subplot2grid((6,6), (0,0), rowspan=1, colspan=6)
  
  ax1.plot(Time)
  
  plt.show() 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and i receive this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Could not convert string to float.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>yes what i am trying to put on the x, and y axis are letters, not numbers, so this error is valid. how do i fix this problem? Is there any easy way to plot these DID's and Times from the graph without getting this error? </p>
  
  <p>Also, i am new to python, and coding in general, so if my question isnt clear please let me know, and i will try my best to fix it. </p>
  
  <p>Thank you very much!</p>
