Edit: I think i've solved it, leaving it here incase anyone finds it helpful (or can improve what I have done) My solution was:
totalYield2017.loc['Q1'] = [fishLandingsQ1_df['Landed Weight (tonnes)'].sum(), fishLandingsQ1_df['Value(£)'].sum()]
I have created a blank dataframe
I want to populate it with sums of columns from other dataframes.
I have 4 other dataframes (one for each quarter, Q1, Q2 etc) that have columns for weight and value. I want to create a sum of each of those columns for the first row in my blank dataframe.
I have included a picture of one of the quarters dataframes, its the last 2 columns I want the sums of to be inputted into the blank dataframe
