Thank you Peter and Christ. It is was a white space and the fix fixed it. Many thanks.

The fix below depends on the assumption that your data is more like size, w1, h1 512, 214, 26 123, 250, 34 ... > a=pd.read_csv("s1.csv", skipinitialspace=True).keys() You should use the keys() method call for diagnosis only. The final script that might work if your problem is actually space after the commas is import pandas as pd a = pd.read_csv("s1.csv", skipinitialspace=True) a["test"] = a["h1"] + a["w1"] print(a) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
