I have a multi-index dataframe in the form below. How can I divide all values in the dataframe by df['three']?
one two three Number 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 Name grethe -0.299 -1.444 -0.920 1.378 0.376 -0.396 0.518 -0.816 -0.329 hans 0.493 1.183 -0.741 -0.267 -0.564 0.281 1.550 0.544 -0.892 When I try this,
>>> df.div(df['three']) or this
>>> df / df['three'] I get this error:
