x_axis=df['month_number']
y_axis=df['bathingsoap']
plt.bar(x_axis,y_axis,label='bathsoap sales')
plt.xlabel('Months')
plt.ylabel('Soap Sales')
plt.title('bathingsoap sales data')
plt.figure(figsize=(5,5))
plt.legend()
plt.show()
plt.legend() elements are automatically determined or you can list the labels specifically like:
ax.legend([line1, line2, line3], ['label1', 'label2', 'label3'])
It would be better if you specified what you wanted in the legend (label text) as noted in the example above rather than just calling plt.legend(). Also, check your data, as the error suggests there’s an “__” somewhere in that array.
This might be of some help:
