                   'values_2': ['DDD','150','350','400','5000'] 
                   })

df = df.apply (pd.to_numeric, errors='coerce')
df = df.dropna()

9 -0.310130  0.078891       NaN

Example 5: pandas dropna

df = pd.DataFrame({"name": ['Alfred', 'Batman', 'Catwoman'],
...                    "toy": [np.nan, 'Batmobile', 'Bullwhip'],
...                    "born": [pd.NaT, pd.Timestamp("1940-04-25"),
...                             pd.NaT]})
>>> df
       name        toy       born
0    Alfred        NaN        NaT
1    Batman  Batmobile 1940-04-25
2  Catwoman   Bullwhip        NaT

##Drop the rows where at least one element is missing.
>>> df.dropna()
     name        toy       born
1  Batman  Batmobile 1940-04-25

Example 6: threshold meaning in pandas dropna

>>>df = pd.DataFrame({"name": ['Alfred', 'Batman', 'Catwoman'],
                   "toy": [np.nan, 'Batmobile', 'Bullwhip'],
                   "born": [pd.NaT, pd.Timestamp("1940-04-25"),
                            pd.NaT]}) 
df.dropna(thresh=2)
       name        toy       born
1    Batman  Batmobile 1940-04-25
2  Catwoman   Bullwhip        NaT
