Python Viz table not working

I'm trying to plot a dataframe as a matplotlib table in a Python visual. I tested the code in Jupyter, and it works fine, but the same code in PowerBI gives a KeyError. The error seems to be coming from this part of the script:

 

the_table = plt.table(cellText=common_df,
colColours=ccolors,
colLabels=column_headers,
loc='center')

 

This exact same code works fine with a simpler dataframe, but when I plug in my actual one, I get a KeyError: 0. Any ideas on why this might be happening, especially given that it works fine in Jupyter?

@Penguin236 , very difficult to tell with this info.

But in power bi you have to drag column on python visual and you can only use those

 

Check my video on how I created those visual
