Hi Dimple



Could you point me in the direction of the notebook you are facing an error in? We would have a look at it on priority.



Till then, I think the issue is that the pct_change function is being run on some text data in the dataframe instead of numbers. If that is not the case, try doing this:

stock_prices = stock_prices.astype(float)
