I am going around in circles and tried so many different ways so I guess my core understanding is wrong. I would be grateful for help in understanding my encoding/decoding issues.
I import the dataframe from SQL and it seems that some datatypes:float64 are converted to Object. Thus, I cannot do any calculation. I fail to convert the Object back to float64.
df.head()
