Hi, please note that the code

hqm_dataframe.sort_values(by = 'HQM Score', ascending = False)
hqm_dataframe = hqm_dataframe[:51]

does not work as expected. You need to add inplace = True hqm_dataframe.sort_values(by = 'HQM Score', ascending = False, inplace = True) otherwise you are taking the fist 51 elements in alphabetical order.

PS Shouldn't you just take the first 50 elements with hqm_dataframe = hqm_dataframe[:50] instead of 51 (they start from 0)

It would actually require a further line as well or an error is thrown later and i found the following worked best;

hqm_dataframe.sort_values(by = 'HQM Score', ascending=False, inplace= True) hqm_dataframe = hqm_dataframe[:51] hqm_dataframe.reset_index(drop = True, inplace = True)
